To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

Congrats on your flips and it looks like a lot of equity was created in those photos!

Curious as to thoughts on building ADU’S for equity in LA / SoCal market.3.

I have my eye on a large single-family residence in Bethlehem, PA, but I have yet to acquire financing.

And, for those people who have more time than money, they can put in sweat equity into directly owned real estate.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Avail sends this to the resident, collects rent and deposits it into our account.

For context, I will be assuming his VA loan at 5.1% and he will be doing seller financing for the remaining equity and sale price. 

The two existing LTR units (on my family’s property) were built 5–8 years ago at a cost of about $80,000 per unit, so I’m estimating a 20% increase in costs for the new builds.My plan is to use the equity in the land as the down payment for the construction loan, which I expect will make closing costs the primary upfront expense.

I currently work with investors who are looking to begin their portfolio in turn-key real estate and manage for them on the back end so they can still enjoy their everyday lives while having a resident in place paying down their loans.
