Dig deep into tax strategy, tax efficiency, etc  Learn about estate planning. 

@Arthur Savery, This can be a great game plan called a diversification exchange. 

Purchase price: $640,000 Cash invested: $220,000 Purchase price $640,000Got it at this price because there is a non-paying tenant in unit 2 (rent value $3,500), we're in court Rehab $60,000All in cash (rehab plus down payment) $217,500Rehab included ground level basement and 2 parking spot drivewayMonthly cash flow $1,500 ARV $950,000Equity $470,000Refi cash out (August 2024) $150,000 (used to buy new rental)New monthly cash flow breaking even (non-paying tenant still in unit 2)New equity about $200,000

However, there is a specific deal Which I find hard to understand the ARV for.It is a Single Family Home, 2 Bedroom 1 Bathroom, 850 SQFT.These two comps have a price gap I find hard to understand, even when considering the difference in renovation level.If anyone knows this market well enough to understand the cause of this difference, and if it might be due to an issue with the location, or if there is anything I am missing.Comp 1 - 1011 Elm Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 2 - 1109 Walnut Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 3 - 1505 N Park Ave, Burlington, NC, 27217 (180K)Thank you!

I have been assured by the head of the planning group that the restrictions regarding bedrooms, parking, etc. will not apply to anyone grandfathered in.

., a large upgraded kitchen, two living rooms, ample parking, and a private backyard, the home is set for completion in May 2025, with leases starting in August 2025.

They are only clearing sidewalks, not parking lots.At $50 an hour, that's five hours of shoveling.

Purchase price: $450,000 We bought this park for $450k.

It is probably worth your time to connect with BOTH @John Warren and myself since we are both managing brokers, but John is more focused on property management and I am more focused on general contracting, but we are both Chicago investors as well.Oak Park and Lawndale are definitely two different markets.

Some investors also use a business line of credit backed by their cash flow, which can help with future deals.If you’re planning to scale, maybe start stacking that cash for the next property or even park some in T-bills for short-term returns.
