@Ben Burgess Like you, I was about 8 years into my career in Tech when I made the decision to get into RE investing, and funny enough, secured my first rental property in Medford!

Do you think Corvette dealers go home and cry every night because they can't sell their $80,000 car to a retiree on social security?

Based on an estimated appraisal of $1.1 - $1.2 million, you could secure a loan of up to $900K (75% LTV).

With private lending secured, I bought the property, excited to add another rental to my portfolio.What I didn’t expect was just how much of a nightmare this property would turn into.After closing, we began the renovation.

I may be able to help you secure a no-experience ground-up construction loan, even though lenders typically require someone with prior construction experience.If you're willing to reach out, I’d be happy to discuss the possibility of pulling some strings to get this project funded.

This is a very rare offering from what I can tell (based on my research), and these features in conjunction with the amenities my building offers (you name it we have it) and secured garage parking available (extra $), I am allowed to charge a premium for my rental.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

You could also consider seller financing, where you work out a deal with the sellers to pay off the remaining mortgage balance while securing the deed.All these options would help you avoid the risks of not holding title to the properties while also giving you access to the equity you've built.

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

People are so emotional and just throw things away.
