Hey Isabella, I always go out with my GC, so he can give me a good ballpark estimate. May be better to go out a few different times with a GC until you're comfortable working with one.

Sea World, Boeing, Amazon. Loads of new build communities and new shopping centers. And you can get into these homes for lower prices. Far west has great opportunities to invest

I would lean FHA honestly - only need 3.5% down and you keep more reserves in the bank.Seller Financing will take more work and you will most likely need to put 10-15% down minimum.

Hey Alex I can send you some offers that were drawn up and sent to me by buyers without an agent. Or if you'd like me to put an offer together using the TREC forms, I can do that as well.

That's awesome Ximena. Sounds like it may be a better route for you than marketing. Good luck to you!

I would just get it done now if you have the time and money. You never know what will come up that may stop you from doing it later on.

As long as we can keep exterior cameras. Interior cameras are a breach of privacy, I'm not sure how any guests would be okay with that.

Quote from @Juan David Maldonado:

Hey, everyone I just moved to SA this year. I want to invest in real estate using the FHA loan and house hacking. After one year go on to the next property so how. Let's meet up and chat about real estate. I am free to help out on the weekends.

That’s awesome Juan. Congrats on getting your RE journey started!
