@Julie McCoy - would love to y’all with you about how you got your rentals. I have one and want to be independent soon. I have ideas about overseas spots.

My family has an LLC and we are getting rid of properties to focus on one large scale development. We are looking to sell this single family home to a cash buyer.

Address is 621 Columbia St. Orlando Fl 32805 

Please call me ASAP if you are interested. 510.499.8343 AND send an email [email protected]

We’re building a detached 750sqft 2/1 ADU in the Bay Area and it will be a rental initially. I would love opinions on whether to put in luxury vinyl plank flooring or engineered hardwood? I understand many of the pros and cons but am still undecided. It’s a mid to high end rental in a nice neighborhood so looking to do mid level furnishings.

We’re building a detached 750sqft 2/1 ADU in the Bay Area and it will be a rental initially. White kitchen cabinets and tops are all the rage but I’m wondering what the best colors for durability are? Suggestions on economical brands are also recommended?

We got a heloc from a credit union bc they offer the highest LTV in our area. They don’t care what you do with it - College, vacay, appreciating assets they generally don’t ask. We’re using it to build an in law full out so not sure how a lender on the purchased mortgage would view down payment from a loan.

Hi there!

I have a boutique marketing firm and I would love to focus in the real estate sector. What needs do you and other investors, realtors, brokers, etc have around marketing your business both online and offline? Do you outsource this or use paid professionals? 

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the feedback @Todd Hutcheson and Erin. I saw on Redfin that the schools weren't bad so went with that. I understand that there are plans to run a road through this area which could increase traffic. Could there be development plans to improve the nearby F area? 

Thanks Lee Ripma ! Thoughtful analysis and yes please pass on your spreadsheet or how you've arrived at these figures. I like the idea of developing this land and I also think (6) sfh would be best if that's doable. I know I can have 3 units per lot like a triplex so I'll have to confirm that I could do (3) sfhs per lot. I'm wondering about financing as this project will get very expensive. Have you seen projects like this get funded from investors or partners? If I have to self-finance it could be years off as we are working on another project that is taking up our equity and savings. Thanks, Carrie

Hello BP,

I have two vacant lots that I inherited (4916 and 4924 W. Jackson Street in Orlando Fla, 32811) and would like to either sell or develop and would love advice on how to make use of this land.

The lots are around 26k sq ft all combined and unfortunately are landlocked so some type of easement would be needed. It's zoned as a multi-family (3 dwellings per lot for a total of 6 units), even though the area primarily consists of single families. The area is around a C from what I recall but seems pretty quiet. The schools in the area rate 10 and 9's which is great so families could be the target audience. 

I am wondering if any investors/realtors in that area could advise about options. I would love to make a buy and hold work as it's been in the family for generations but also open to a sale. I have thought of the following scenarios so far:

1. tiny homes or prefab developed

2. renting the land to a potential investor (e.g., org for community garden)

3. selling the land (what are ideas for doing this... land doesn't seem to be first choice for what realtors want to sell)

I live in the Bay Area so have to keep this in mind as I explore options.

Thanks!!!
