Really appreciate you sharing this info.

In my opinion, in many cases it’s better to invest in a property that costs less and is a bit under decorated - then hire a really good decorator to upgrade at least a few rooms for the unique,  “wow” moment in photos.

If you don’t mind sharing, what’s the average price range in the area where you are house hacking?

Congratulations, you get to share your partners tax burden and pay the depreciation recapture at ordinary income rates. 

I just thought I would share and I hope you have a great holiday season and New Year in 2024!

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

I'm planning on buying a LTR at the moment, likely small multifamily. markets are hard too.

Mike, Neal, John, Adam: thank you all for sharing.

Quote from @John Williams: Has anyone been on the lender side of private money and had a bad experience that they are willing to share?

My wife and I have moments where we think maybe we should just cancel this but then we get excited about the new adventure and path it could put us on if we do move forward with this.
