Can anyone recommend a financial advisor that has experience in both real estate investing and personal finance? Also experience working with someone who has an LLC, and has knowledge on the benefits of owning one, etc…

Would appreciate any leads!

Thanks,

Andrew

Four square method?

Bigger Pockets Calculator?

Any other methods for analyzing deals when searching through Zillow, etc…

Hey Josh,

Any luck house-hacking in NYC?

I'm looking into buying a multifamily and doing the same thing.

Hi Malcolm,

I'm also just starting out, and looking to invest in a multifamily home – specifically to house hack.

Trying to find a lender and/or CPA to help guide me in the best way to finance that property. Was thinking about an FHA loan.

Also located in NY, and happy to connect and talk strategies. 

Hi Chaunna, 

I'm in in a similar boat as you…except I've never tried RE.

My goal is to buy a multi-family home an house hack in NY.

I was thinking of taking out an FHA loan because the down payment is only 3.5%.

But I also want to find a CPA who may be able to give me other creative financing ideas to help reach my goal.

I heard of the NACA program on one of the BP podcasts…you may want to look into that too.

Hi,

When trying to figure out the best way for one to come up with creative ways to finance their first investment is it better to talk with:
• Lender

• CPA who has experience with investors

What would be the better choice and why?

Does this all depend on how much capital one has? Or do other things come into play like credit score, existing assets owned and income from W2?

Thanks,

Andrew

 Hi @Mohammed Rahman I was thinking a cash loan would have been an alternative if an FHA wasn't achievable. I will also look into seller financing.

Thanks for your response!

 Thanks Kevin…there are all valid points.

I figured it would be good to see if I was able to qualify for the FHA or any sort of loan, before I planted the seed that I was interested in buying.

@Account Closed would I be able to take out another FHA loan a year or two after I quit claim the title?

Hey Gaetano…I've done some research on FHA loans and they seem like a good idea.

Thanks for clarifying!
