Thanks @Dave Foster! That's exactly what I needed to know.  

Looking at purchasing my first multi-family quadplex and living in one of the units for at least a year or so while renovating the others. Would I still be able to use FHA/conventional financing if I used a 1031 exchange on the purchase?

Thanks @Mike Alder!  This is a great idea!

Hi Everyone,

Newbie question...

If I buy a property that has a bonus room addition that was never properly permitted, is it better to just to leave it be or would it be possible to get the space permitted now since I am a new buyer?  I am not worried about safety issues for my future renters since the space has been inspected and construction is good but just thinking if it is even possible to obtain permitting after the fact?  Obviously I don't want to wake a sleeping giant and have someone tell me I have to tear it down and start over.  

Also if I ever go to sell can I still list as five bedroom even if 5th bedroom was not permitted? 

Thanks!

Karen

Happy Sunday!

Newbie here looking to get my real estate goals (long and short term) on paper and wondered if anyone had a goal template and spreadsheet to help with this?  

Thanks!

Thanks everyone!

@StanButler, can you recommend any portfolio lenders in Atlanta?  

Hi BP Community!

Figured now is as good as any to introduce myself....I am a newbie to investing but not to real estate.  I have been selling real estate in the Atlanta luxury condo market for the last 11 years.  I am ready to begin investing in single family buy and holds and possibly some flips down the road.  I have learned so much from these forums and just went to contract on my first rental!  I am sure I will have many questions in the near future!

Cheers!
