I have a duplex and single-family at East Stroudsburg that I purchased right before interest rates spiked so I am comfortably at a 3.125% interest rate on the two properties.

We purchased the house about 3 months ago and are owner financing it.

I have purchased many properties without a tenant in place.

Purchase price: $232,000 Cash invested: $18,000 My real estate investment journey began with a leap of faith when I purchased my first investment property—a charming but very needy fixer-upper in Connecticut.

I wouldnt give any consideration to what the seller needs in order to break even in determining the purchase price.

Eventually I went to investment property (local purchase) and vacation home (2 out of state purchases).

However, due to keep purchasing real estate, my DTI is high and close to 50%.

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

But unless you get a value-add property, purchasing real estate really doesn't make much sense in this environment?

This allows you to use all of the tax and deferred depreciation recapture to purchase the larger MF propertyA consolidation exchange is where you sell multiple investment properties to purchase a larger and nicer investment property, but you also get the benefit of using all of the tax you would have had to pay to your advantage.
