Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Recently purchased my first house to use as a primary residence, currently I am renovating the kitchen and adding a full bathroom to the first floor.

Because of the frustration, when asked to purchase the large lot in front of their house which leads to the main road, they turned it down.

If she went to buy a house and applied for a mortgage, I think the lender would say the same thing aka you don't qualify until you get this removed from the credit report.

If there was a house of interest listed it was get there same day and make a strong offer to even have a chance, this doesn't seem to be the case at this moment.

And that mistake came back to cost me tens of thousands in lost rent and damaged houses.

For scaling your portfolio, consider house hacking another multi-family property to minimize living expenses while building equity.

But, it may not offer the ROI as other locales, and it may not be "fun" like buying in a favorite vacation spot.2 - The highest ROI folks - Self explanatory, will go where ROI is high and/or regulation low.3 - The second home/retirement minded - These people are looking for minimal ROI but want the house in a specific location because they like to use the property and want it to pay for itself.

With value-add, I know I'm getting at least some of my capital out when I'm done and I'll end up with a house that should not need any significant cap-ex for quite a while.I'd do turnkey too if the numbers looked good enough but the reality is in the market where I have boots on the ground you're talking about close to 60k between down payment and closing costs for maybe $200/month in cash flow.

When I tried to get it when my side of the family found out and tried ti take over reverser mortgage payments to bank because she had died it was to late so they sold the house to Hud and then other reverse mortgage companies but a relative still lives there so they can't kick them out.
