I'm looking to exchange a multi-use property I own in the Bay Area for a multifamily property (expected sales price $3 million) that I could potentially convert to MTR.

Whether it be cleaning their properties or doing manual labor.

Purchase price: $19,087 Cash invested: $1,250 Sale price: $27,000 Contributors: Peter Vekselman Partner Driven and Chad Wolfe & Jerry Scott secured this Anderson, Indiana property for $19,087, investing just $1,250 in minor improvements.

Fewer new builds can limit supply, preventing dramatic price drops.Finding Opportunities – Rather than assuming prices will decline across the board, look for motivated sellers, properties that need work, or areas where short-term uncertainty creates long-term opportunity.

What are some good entry-level jobs that would give me hands-on experience with real estate, whether in sales, property management, or another related field? 

As you progress your bookkeeping business, you'll likely want to learn how to export statements from a variety of property management platforms, as investor books are housed in bank accounts, spreadsheets, and a variety of property management and accounting software!

Or to build a new one.The timing issue is only on the sale of the rest of the property. 

Working with Property Managers – What should I look for in a good property manager to ensure smooth operations? 

The house has no structural issues they are just upset that permit expired last fall and nothing has been done to property.
