Being new I would suggest started with existing builds but building small multifamily in a small town with a rental shortage could be a smart move (someone's gotta do it).

If not, ride out the 12 months with the hard money lender.People have to make good choices and not over extend themselves just for the sake of buying something they really can't afford or that doesn't make good cash flow.

So, factor that into your thinking about whether its the right choice for you. 4.

For STRs, properties near the beach or downtown tend to perform well.Start Small and Smart: If this is your first property, focus on something manageable.

If there is a choice to be made, it comes down to what an investor "likes" or prefers about one over the other? 

Also, many may disagree with me here but in my book, a smart and savvy attorney can make the case they are alleging.

I’ve never actually been legally owed money before so I was green on how to handle things while trying to be understanding and respecting other lifestyles and career choices.

Hey @Brett Riemensnider,A HELOC could be a smart move if you want to tap into your home's equity while keeping it.

An experienced broker with lots of choices at the palm of their hand is probably the best bet.

@Ketch BaysStarting small in a cash-flowing market is a smart way to gain experience and build confidence without overextending yourself financially.
