Multifamily always made sense to me as initially I was very impatient and wanted to see a decent cashflow.

Common sense. 

A very good opportunity and it just makes sense to build a new home on this lot since our family continues to grow.

To 1031 it doesnt make a lot of sense IMO since $100k of equity going into a new property with 7-8% interest rates will force us to look into markets outside of Oregon, require a Property Mgr at 7-10% and we're almost back at square one unless its a MF with great cashflow.The main considerations for liquidating the brokerage account are: capital gains + OR state income taxes will be brutal, I like the idea of tax advantaged real estate gains AND growing real wealth and assets, not paper wealth.

Thanks yes makes sense they were transaparent about having less tax with it.

Your “don’t evict strategy” could only make sense in a market that literally hates landlords.

Your approach to finishing the basements in order to extend the number of years a tenant stays in that unit makes perfect sense!

Ultimately, you will need to have the borrowed funds in USD and ideally in your US business entity bank account to sail through underwriting with US lenders on US properties.Caveat: the rates will likely be something like 10-12% so it would not make sense on a long-term holding, more like on a down payment on a purchase and rehab value-add project that you will eventually sell (or cash-out refinance) to pay off the borrowed funds in a few months. 

For a long term investor:Would it make sense if you could buy the home at a steep discount and then let the owner stay rent free for a specific period of time?

They call it a tribe, a family, or something similar, giving people the sense they belong to something special—often creating a tight-knit environment that makes it harder to question what’s really being offered.So, what’s the takeaway?
