All the sweat equity finally dug me out of the hole and I was ready for some rentals.I bought my first duplex in 2021 along with a single family home a few weeks later.

The other option is to look for private money, or for friends and family or even if you have retirement savings, and having them self direct the funds and lend to you.You can also go and look for a partner that brings the capital and you bring the experience/sweat equityCongrats on the homeGino

In my many years of this (property management company for over 20 years) I have dealt with similar stuff a handful of times and I still get the pit in my stomach and sweats while my stubborn side says do not cave in when we know we are right.

You can find deals in the high $900,000s that need some work so if you’re up for some sweat equity that could also be an option.

To think something is easy is to depreciate the value the blood, sweat and tears that people like yourself have poured into this profession.

I love to talk shop about rentals, hard money loans, notes, deals and sweat equity (preferably very little sweat but more effective planning.)

Purchased under market value, then rehabed myself with sweat (i am not the most talented DIY guy haha) What was the outcome?

Nobody will ever respect you for the blood, sweat, and tears you will go through dealing with all of the pain and agony of trying to navigate such a ridiculous system.

In return I can offer access to MLS information(Realtor), Sweat equity(maybe you need help in one of your flips), Bird dogging, or even listing any properties for you in return for your guidance. looking forward to connect with the community.
