1st deal done: now what?
I bought a vacation rental property 3 years ago for a great price. I rented it using an agency and their fees combined with the high HOA fees made it a negative cash flow in that setup. I really didn't know what I was doing and should have managed the property myself.
Anyways lucky for me the property appreciated and I recently sold the property for a 200k profit. That plus the 150k equity gives me 350k to reinvest.
I currently distributed the 200k for a 1031 exchange.
I am looking at SFH in my area which range from 250k-400k.
Trying to figure out best strategy for investment. For background I have a good job and I have a 4 day work week. I have a traditional balanced portfolio with no real estate holdings except for about 65k in an REIT.
My job is on auto pilot and I’m looking for a challenge and am excited about expanding my real estate investing.
My thoughts on proceeding are: purchasing a SFH with 25% down and managing myself then invest rest in syndicate or passive real estate deal. Purchasing multiple homes. Paying cash for single home and then managing. Thoughts.
What was the deal? Did you post in the Deal Diary?
Your next move should NOT be a property. Your next move should be a plan that lays out each decision you will make from property to property. You should never ask the question, "what do I do next", ever again.
