Decided to pull the trigger finally in RE investing, taking advantage of interest rates and some on hand cash.

My main goal is to successfully house hack and start building long-term wealth through real estate.How I Got Interested in Real Estate InvestingI got interested in real estate after learning about house hacking and seeing how it can be a smart way to build financial freedom.

I've been going about as long as you have and things are starting to come together and happen for me here in Sacramento.

In Spring Branch, new homes with modern amenities come with lower maintenance costs, but might have tough competition and higher initial expenses.

This is one of the things that sound a lot easier than they are actually done.The crazy thing I learned about these CA fires is that the heat radiation is hot enough (1500-2000F) that it will ignite your furniture through the windows.

Could anyone share advice or insights on the market here?

So I guess the new investors networked with each other and the dudes who set it up and collected dues.

Quote from @Aaron Meyerrenke: Just curious if you ever ended up building? 

Buy: $284,900Rehab: $115,000Holding: $16,500 Points: $3,413 Selling fee: $30,000Insurance hold: $2,000-$2,500 (maybe get back $1,000-$1500 if you close quick)Other title/escrow purchase: $2,500ARV: $500,000Profit: $46,587 (9.25% approx) I would do the deal, especially if you get that gap for rehab closed 3-4 months and tighten up the rehab costs too ($100,000)   Appreciate the breakdown!

If the new administration actually enacts their policy stances on tariffs, immigration, trying to ignite the economy even more....all of those things add up to higher inflation.
