I want to convert a single family house into a duplex. The zoning is already R2. Does anyone know how much it would cost to do a project like that? Do I have to get a permit for the conversion? Please advise!

Will do. Thanks Karen!

How accurate is the rent estimate on zillow?

This property is listed for $330k. It is A bank-owned prop. The market comps are pretty good for 3/1.5 with 1100 sqft homes. Comps are 380k to 420k. Prop is barely listed since 10/21. I think it looks like it will need about $30k to fix. I do want to buy this house at $280k. What should I do? How can I negotiate down the price? Thank you!

I want to invest in Dallas while living inCA. Does anyone know about the rental market? Which area is hot and which to stay away? Any input will help.

Thanks Mark!

Hi Bigger Pocket Members! I am new to Real Estate investing. I am a Banker at Chase and working PT at Enterprise Rent a Car. I am also in the Army Reserves. With all these jobs, I would love to earn some additional income to supplement my FT job so I can quit the PT one. Work smarter and not harder, am I right? I have some cash for down payment but I need to secure a loan to buy the property. I got an email from BP and there's a banner in the email from a sponsor. The name is Crestar Funding LLC. It looks like its a private lender just for Real Estate Investing. Has anyone used them before? I couldn't find much information or reviews about them. If anyone know how I can get financing that does not look at debt to income ratio, please point me to the right direction. Thank you!!!
