It is an appreciation play right now.

That also plays a major role in what to do. end of day stocks and real estate over time provide the same return on average - so it is really based on the individual, their experience and desire Thank you. 

Our current focus is for a family lakehouse / lifestyle play here in TN but would like to work my way into commercial properties, short-term rental facilities, business acquisitions to name a few.

Mailing is a slow play and takes volume.

This really helped me dive into the numbers, make corrections and left me with something that I know I can trust.Not down playing ChatGPT at all, I just try to be self-sufficient when I can.

Austin is more of an appreciation play than cash flow. 

It is possible to develop the deal and not build anything at all.

Contractors play such a huge role in real estate projects.

Hey @Dalton Foote - I highly suggest  using a renovation loan and house hacking a multi-family if that is possible with your current life circumstances.The 203k and homestyle renovation loans are just amazing products and drastically help you reduce your risk, in my opinion, because you are able to leverage the cost of the entire renovation with such a low down payment loan.We work with a lot of clients who use these products in Chicago, and no matter what, in the long term, they gain great equity.If you aren't able to house hack - the process is essentially the same, but just with more money down with hard money or conventional construction loan.

It’s always interesting to see how people’s backgrounds play into their investing strategies.What kind of multifamily properties are you eyeing right now?
