Thank you! This is the best answer that I’ve heard so far!

Hello! I’m curious to hear people’s opinions so that I can accurately weigh my options.

I currently have enough cash to buy both a home and an investment property with conventional loans. I don’t have the greatest income ever. Within the year I’d like to buy my first home, and my first rental property. Would it be better for me to buy the rental before my first home?

Questions

-Is buying a home first going to limit my ability to buy a rental? (Because of debt to income tied to property)

-Will buying a home first make it easier to buy a rental? (Because of equity lines of credit and creative financing)

-Is buying a rental property first going to limit my ability to buy a home?

-Is buying a rental property first going to make it easier to buy a home? (Because mortgage is covered freeing up debt to income?)

Does it even matter what I do first? Thanks

DISCLAIMER! No I am not looking to househack. The price and scarcity of multi-families in the city I am moving into does not allow for me to do that.

Hello everyone! I have a friend in a situation where there are Section 8 tenants. The tenant complained about lead-based paint and found that their child had lead poisoning. Now, my friend is required to either remove the lead by a certified lead-abatement company (estimated at $25,000), or knock the building down (Estimated at least $15,000). Any suggestions? Any grants you know of? We are located in Central Ohio. Thank you!

Hello everyone!

I'm curious in hearing some ideas from people people who are homeowners, maybe flippers who don't like their own properties. I am a realtor and am curious about what types of services a realtor could offer that would make them stand out over other agents. I believe that most agents now-a-days offer much of the same marketing ideas/services. Does anybody have any ideas for services a realtor could offer that would make them stand out over all other agents? I'm thinking a video of me walking through the home and giving a tour to blast on social media or something. There are no stupid ideas! Thanks in advance.

I've searched around for answers on how to invest your first couple thousand. The answers that I have gotten are to:

1. Invest in yourself/ educate yourself

2. Invest in Stocks

3. Realty Shares

There are obviously other things out there. I'd like to figure out a way to invest my money into real estate, but Realty Shares is about the only way I can think to invest in it. For people who have not tried to invest, it's not easy for beginners to be a part of realty shares. I've thought about peer-to-peer lending or small businesses. Obviously under $5000 in cash is not a lot of money. Any suggestions for what you would do if you were in the same position? Thank you!

I would love to network with other people in Columbus. I have no Real estate investing experience nor does my family. I am a real estate agent and would love to learn more and meet new people. Anyone in Columbus feel free to send me a request.
