Hey Bigger Pockets, I’ve decided to get out of my analysis paralysis and actually jump into real estate investing- focusing initially on wholesaling.

I’m in the private lending space, so if you ever want to chat about financing options or need a second opinion on a deal, I’m happy to connect.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

This book has great information on how to evaluate deals and will tell you about the metrics you are asking.

When buildings like this do come up, it's usually placed on the MLS, but you're gonna need to keep an eye on the market for long stretches of time.

Quote from @Felicia Nitu: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: hope it works.. but throwing in the affordable housing requirement a lot of times kills the project right there.Also at least in markets I have worked the time lines START from completed submission.. you make your submission and then get an incomplete letter this goes on for months and months soo time lines still extend.. but at least its a step in the right direction hope if works.Hi Jay, the affordable housing requirement can definitely be a dealbreaker for some projects.

Both of our properties have about 100k in equity in them so we were thinking about using getting a HELOC on the duplex rental property and use that money for the down payment on the next property.

You run the numbers on the project and stress test it.

My personal opinion is that any time is the right time to invest if you can find opportunities that meet your Return on Investment goals.

My brother is a divorce attorney, so I do have access to great leads that I keep hearing from him, but I don't have enough cash to close on anything meaningful.
