While I have little to no experience in real estate, I'm eager to learn and explore the strategies needed to achieve my goals in this field.

Going from a plea for help to landing three duplexes in just 9 months is impressive, especially while balancing college.

All that valuation is based on some basic MVP, yet VCs are okay with it since they only need one out of a hundred to achieve a 100x return to make it all worth it.

A Cash Value Life Insurance plan can be good for tax savings and protecting your loved ones, but I'm not sure it would help you achieve your real estate goals.

A 7 to 10 year goal allows you to learn, adapt, and grow your portfolio with confidence.In just a few years, you’ll be well on your way to achieving that financial freedom you’re dreaming about.

I think you're gonna see a lot of deals underwater trading before year end, with banks trying to clean up their balance sheets.5.5% with 25% down is a very competitive rate.

A duplex is a great way to get your feet wet in multifamily investing, giving you two rental incomes under one roof, which can be a great balance between cash flow and passive income.I’d also suggest looking at markets that offer solid rental returns.

Hello Mathew, when you purchase properties, are they free and clear of mortgages, if not, what do you do about the remaining balance?

Alternatively, target non-FHA buyers to avoid this issue altogether.Consult a Real Estate Attorney: Ensure your contract language is solid, especially with regard to title protection, seller obligations, and your rights in the event of default or dispute.By balancing your need for control with the costs of formal closing, you can structure a deal that works for both you and the seller while protecting your investment.4o
