What is your current BUY formula for properties in this market?

But yes long term I am interested in buy and hold single and multifamily. 

Joint ventures entail utilizing your own money to buy properties with others.

Last thing to consider is if you are buying a new home, will you want to do 100% financing and will you have the remaining bonus entitlement to do so.

Since it is a family member and I would potentially buy the property for under market value.

Maybe she’s financially illiterate and won’t see what a scam your seller finance offer is, but she did have $100k laying around to buy the property, so probably not. 

I'm an active duty military member and our family has been moving around the country for the past 20 years so we're excited to begin buying some places we can hold onto.

I was living abroad buying/selling real estate mostly land, and some land with structures.

Don’t forget practical items like toiletries, a cozy blanket, and a handwritten welcome note.To balance cost and quality, consider buying in bulk or looking for local products that offer great value.

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