The fact that they share a wall doesn’t change the fact that they’re independent properties.2️⃣ Provide local market comps – If no duplex comps exist, that means the market isn’t valuing properties this way.

Quote from @Lee Banks: Hi my name is Lee I'm looking too buy my first rental property and but I feel as if I need a mentor to watch, I still need to learn the basics of real-estate does anyone in New York do programs or mentorships and where would you start if you first started real-estate today  Hello Lee,I'd recommend looking up local meetups here on BP, meetup.com and, eventbrite.You can also call around to speak with RE investors and professionals in your target market to begin making connections.With so much available information online, I'd recommend speaking to a few people and doing independent research before committing to mentorships.

I have been an investor for over a decade and helping other investors (many OOS) buy and sell investment properties here in the Dallas/Ft.

That’s your home mortgage interest as well as property tax and insurance for 2nd half of the year.

I could tell by the list price and look of the property whether it was going to go pending, or languish. 

@Chase AlexanderRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Since your Kansas-registered single-member LLC owns property in Missouri and had a net loss in 2024, you’ll need to file in both states:Missouri: File a nonresident return to report the net loss.

The vast majority of your wealth gain in real estate will be by holding properties long term and the appreciation/principal paydown will slowly but surely help you become wealthy.For 90% plus of people out there who are looking to start, house hacking is the best way to go.

I would like to purchase a three or four Plex and live in one of the units.I understand I can use an FHA loan or conventional loan with only 3 to 5% down in order to get into the property however I live in a very expensive area and the properties I am looking at are currently 700+. 

I would say if those are the true numbers, the place would have sold instantly already.Purchase of $179k and rehab of $150k to get a value of $735k is almost unheard of.Main red flag is that something else major is wrong with the property.
