I don't understand why  OP wouldn't just  either execute the plan as layed out, or.....just flip em or keep them and rent.

I would encourage you to learn the market you plan to invest in now and to continue to learn about the different methods of investing.

If they thought DC was going to crash there is no way they would have moved forward with our transaction they will be in these lots about 300k EACH.. and they plan on 1.4 to 2.0 exits. 

So their plan is follow Hawaii’s “protect the homeowners plan:  how did that work out?

I am ready to talk to mortgage lenders and anyone who can help guide me on a financial plan to rebuild my credit and start a small savings to build up to my first house hack deal in Q4 this year in the Raleigh/ research triangle area. 

I plan to live in the multi-family for a year then move out and rent the unit.

I think by waiting to last minute to put things together you miss items and year end tax planning becomes problematic.

I’m new to the community and I’m planning to start a Section 8 rental property business.

Raleigh specifically has introduced “Fast-Track Plans” designed to streamline permitting to build ADUs faster and more cost-effectively.

I wouldn't start investing in the US if you have no plans on coming back from living in China.
