Aim for a credit score of 680+ for better refinance options.

My wife also made it clear that if we were going to expand beyond what we already own, she didn’t want to be involved in managing them.

With countless loan options, complex terms, and strict lending criteria, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

I was just hoping to transition it into LTR and since we have newer furniture that fits the space well, it just seemed a shame to sell it all to do an unfurnished LTR, but again, I'm having a hard time understanding how logistically some of the details are worked out with that with furniture involved in an LTR.Thank you again for the support!

Hi David, If building long-term equity and scaling quickly are priorities, then option 2 aligns better for you. 

I have one more year left, but am eager to get my real estate wheels back turning.This year 2025, I am looking to get my foot back in the pool and become much more involved in the real estate community.

Narrowing down the options will probably come down to comps and city/neighborhood specifics; things like permits.Any good suggestions for finding out how long permits are taking in certain areas?

I have considered turnkey properties as an option

Today I had a heater issue and snow company that was late handling commercial before residential so we ended up clearing it.Open to each option.

I suppose something more turn-key could be a good option, but haven't come across many viable options there yet.Anyways, we still have a lot more to learn and still need to familiarize ourselves with the area/market, but just wanted to pop in to say hi!
