Just curious what others are paying and how their experiences have been with their current management, thank you!

Any advice or shared experience would be great.

In addition to conventional loans and FHA loans, if either you or your wife are veterans, the VA also has a rehab program.I'd be happy to discuss my rehab experience both as an investor and as a mortgage broker, and at least help you think through your options. 

@Kang-Li Cheng Can you expand on your experience with Doorvest?

This is a tough situation, but you’re gaining valuable experience that will serve you well in future deals.

@Stephanie Freed Its been a while- can you give me a update on your experience with Anderson?

Hi everyone,I’m looking to dive into the real estate market here in the Des Moines/Metro area and would love to connect with experienced investors, agents, or professionals who are willing to share their insights.I’m particularly interested in learning about your experiences in this market—what’s worked for you, lessons learned, and any advice you’d have for someone getting started.

Rent control in the bay area can be extreme as many areas have rent control in excess of the state mandated rent controlIn general experience RE investors are not choosing to add a single ADU in single family zoned areas.  

What you want is an agent with experience who knows how to negotiate, watch your back, navigate difficult situations, understand contracts and law, provides an objective cross-check, etc.

Based on my 20+ years of real estate experience, I’d say renting the condo might not be the best option—$2,000/month rent minus $800 in condo fees leaves you with just $1,200 before taxes and maintenance, and seniors' condos can be tricky to rent.
