Quote from @Robert Jones: Anyone feeling super confident doing deals in the current political climate?

Some lenders even offer VA renovation loans, which could help if you find a property that needs a little work to maximize rental potential.Before jumping into a deal, check local rental laws and HOA rules.

I'm leery of high leverage until I get my feet under me and some experience, so I'm aiming at smaller deals to learn the process before trying to hit a home run.

Right now, I’m focused on finding my first multifamily property to house hack in the New London, CT or Greater Boston area.Goals with BiggerPocketsI joined to connect with experienced investors, learn more about financing and property management, and take action on my first deal this year.

I spend all my time finding acq wholesalers who have deals and connecting with buyers.

A brrrr deal would be perfect for me.

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

It’s also an excellent opportunity to gain property management experience.

If you have a builder, why not just engage them and get a loan vs. having to deal with a JV partner?

Glad to see some justice.The next round of scams will be people raising money for new deals but then using those new funds to bail out previous deals—be it flippers who can't sell or apartment investors facing refinance rates and decompressing CAP rates.
