The Cville market is quite competitive.

There are other ways to be successful besides EMD as well.

I have the option to buy a 1,300-sqft 3-bed, 1.5-bath house in South End neighborhood of Stamford, CT, from a family member before it goes on the market.

While this is a great and highly motivating goal, most people are either clueless or incorrect in their belief as to what is required to obtain this “lifestyle”.Understanding of the “how to” get there is further obscured by the misleading, and often patently false “pathways” sold by real estate educational MARKETING companies as workshops, upsold to association memberships, upsold to mentorships.

Quote from @Robert Jones: @Kristi Kandel what market are you in? 

This deal was brought us off-market by a friend.

For multifamily, target markets with strong rental demand, value-add opportunities, and creative financing options like seller financing or private capital.

BP Rookie podcast has a pretty good content on Airbnb, however mostly success stories.

Often, I am not able to keep all of my ira funds invested in active loans so I would like to be able to keep the money that is not invested in loans in a liquid "money market" type of fund on a temporary basis.

Has anyone here been successful in permitting a conversion?
