@Jose Saladin Purchasing your sister’s home as a live-in rental offers instant equity (~$170K), tax benefits, and landlord experience, making it a solid first step into real estate investing.

@Troy F. speaking from experience as a licensed real estate broker in Iowa and in the Cedar Rapids MLS, the Cedar Rapids purchase agreement specifically calls out a clause if the property is a rental property (Y or N).

My dads portion of our building will be gifted to me in the will FYI.As a real estate agent, I see 5% as a reasonable market appreciation.

"Diving into real estate as a newbie—ready to learn, connect, and turn knowledge into deals.

@Carlos Ptriawan there are several challenges with owning MHPs in a DST, as would be the case with most multi-tenant real estate. 

The plaintiffs allege that the defendants, including Wettengel, misappropriated $54 million of syndication proceeds intended for acquiring commercial real estate through DSTs.

Get to real estate meetups and network with people out there doing deals.

Or maybe even the "Commercial Real Estate" forum.  

It allows the sponsor to buy and sell real estate within the fund as well, maybe doing multiple smaller deals.

If I decide to sell to a builder, should I have a real estate agent or just have a lawyer read over the documents?
