Having a co-signer doesn't feel like that at first, but you can't predict the future.

I’m not trying to second guess you, just trying not to make you feel like a peasant while I do important stuff. 

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to talk about real estate or exchange ideas!

Another thing to note is that if you’re self employed with no full time W2 outside yourself and a spouse a solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate.  

If we can complete projects faster, we increase IRR and build trust.3) Market Risk- The longer it takes to complete a project, the more exposed you are to market fluctuations.This goes for all things Real Estate - BRRRRs, Flips, New Builds, Rehabs, etc.Real Estate is a wild ride I feel your pain, I've had this happen many times where the project is twice as long.

i self manage 1 property that i used to live in and have PMs on the rest.i'm trying to BRRRR so that i can recoup all or most of my capital on each deal that i buy, and in 2024 i got outbid on 100% of what i went after.

Loan officers with 25 years of experience typically are more experienced, and have less time per file, because they have an abundance of files.Loan officers with 25 months of experience typically are less experienced, but have more time to devote to you.I can't write my own loans, so when I'm getting a loan I prefer working with less busy people when I'm doing my own real estate investment, they're more responsive and dedicated it feels like.

Even when I self manage I include pm because it is work and I do not work for free.

Moreover, I would recommend prioritizing a W2 position over 1099 self-employment/sales for two reasons.

Additionally, many deals tend to fly under the radar, so networking within organizations like NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers) can help uncover opportunities.If anyone reading this is considering selling their property management company in Texas, feel free to share—I’m genuinely interested in connecting.
