Where as same investor buys a stock or mutual fund that tanks and they just chalk it up.. to me there is an irrational thought process that you cant lose money on RE..

I am bleeding funds and I need to act quickly. 

For a partnership where you're providing all labor and the broker is funding the deal, a fair split typically ranges from 30-50% for you and 50-70% for the broker, depending on the value and complexity of your labor versus the financial risk they're taking.

Build your home criteria based on investment goals, risk profile, returns desired, holding timeline.

It's crazy to think some RE agents are suggesting owners to put their houses up cause fed funds reduced, they completely misunderstand but I let the market do what it does-- market.

Hi @Leon Jamison,I can recommend my contractor. my project was $420K, 7months, funded through 203K. we went slightly over schedule (10months),mainly due to a few failed/ repeat inspections, but we were able ton finish under budget.TBH, Im actually doing a second multi family reno project in the heights, New York Ave with the same contractor beginning March 2025.Anyways, you're bound to have issues when working with any contractor.

With investment properties, you can typically borrow up to 75% of the appraised value - significant funds if the $245,000 estimate holds.

We have been keeping it as office use until we get our construction financing set up along with all of the other funding sources.

After all PITI, utility, and services (lawncare and cleaning) costs I have $7,225.I set aside 25% of this for my maintenance fund.The remainder funds my lifestyle, wife has a Tesla, and quarterly vacations as well as business growth.In 2023 I am tracking to build 4 duplex units designed as room rentals funded in part from a recent land sale.
