I'm passionate about teaching real estate in underserved communities and helping others build wealth through knowledge.Looking Ahead: I’m seeking local and out of state investors, lenders, and professionals in the Atlanta area for STRs and MTRs, and in Birmingham, Phoenix, Columbus, Macon, and Augusta, GA for long-term rentals and small multifamily deals.Let’s connect if you share my vision for creating real estate that not only generates wealth but also builds lasting, positive change.

In New Hampshire, title laws are strict, so we couldn’t move forward without obtaining a signature from a living heir.The title company dug deep and eventually located a distant relative—a niece of the deceased owner, two generations removed.

A vacation rental could generate higher returns but requires more active management.

My goal is to rent it out to start generating some cash flow.I’m planning to remodel the kitchen soon, and once that’s done, I’d like to move out to make the apartment available for renters.

My goal is to create generational wealth for my family and to eventually have the financial freedom to say "yes" to travel adventures as a family. 

Hypothetically, if I found a property with strong rental demand, the income could cover loan payments, operating expenses, and generate a modest positive cash flow.While this example involves upfront risks, the idea would be to leverage my father’s expertise as a contractor to minimize renovation costs, boost the property’s value, and create a long-term asset that appreciates over time.

I am sure there aren't many comps that this would generate.

However, they approach financial health from different angles.The 50% Rule is a quick estimate that suggests operating expenses (excluding mortgage principal and interest) will roughly equal 50% of the property's gross income.The DSCR is a more precise calculation (Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service) that determines if a property generates enough income to cover its debt obligations.Deal example:- Class C middle class neighborhood- 4bd / 2ba single family house- ARV: 190k- Purchase: 105k- Rehab: 35k- Market rent: $1,400-1,525- Section 8: $1,475- Property manager: 10%- Taxes: 125 month- Insurance $1250 yr- HOA: $55 month- purchased and rehabbed with all cash.

When you invest in 1-4 units residential property in the Bay Area, you are investing for the appreciation or value-add potential because most properties don't generate positive cashflow.  

They just generate chlorine at a constant rate depending on the system setting.
