I'm really excited about the potential of investing in residential multifamily properties with my dad, who's willing to contribute the initial funds.We're currently working on getting our financial house in order, paying off debt, and building a solid nest egg.

I’m based out of Lehi, Utah, and have always been fascinated by the potential of real estate to create opportunities and build wealth.After spending time learning about the industry and what it takes to succeed, I’m ready to dive in and start making deals happen!

To list a few...Anyone who wants to increase their property’s income potential (and equity) and build new housing in a market that struggles with high prices, low supply, and few new construction.House hackers who live in their primary and want to airbnb an ADU love this strategy or vice versaInvestors who want to do both long term and short term benefit from having two separate units.Rental Restrictions on ADUs.Thankfully, Raleigh is very STR friendly and ADU friendly right now.

Here is some key information:Property recently hit the market and has 2 cash offers alreadyThe seller provided a pre-inspection report, which I shared with 2 different lenders, both think it may fail conventional financing due to potential structural and electrical issues (realtor thinks it could pass conventional)Seller has 100% equity but is behind on other payments (not sure of the urgency money is needed)This is my first attempt at an “investment” property so I’m new to thisI see 3 optionsMove forward with an offer using conventional loan pre-qualification-Not as attractive of an offer to the seller-Possibility that appraiser calls out structural/electrical issues that need to be fixed before closing, effectively causing financing to fail- Best terms and fewest loan fees for meUse a rehab style loan such as ChoiceRenovation-Even less attractive than a conventional offer to seller, but less risk of failed financing if appraiser calls out issues-Slightly worse fees and interest rates compared to conventional-Lenders tell me possibly up to 60-90 days closing in some cases, with red-tape for contractor requirements and draw schedules (sounds like the most hoops to jump through during rehab)Use a hard money lender-Most attractive loan option I can give to seller so I can compete-Much higher fees and interest rate for me-need to refinance into a conventional at the end of rehab (not familiar with seasoning periods but I think this is a factor as well)Which option would you do?

If your property manager is not listed as an additional insured, they may not be covered under your policy in the event of an incident on your property, leaving both of you potentially exposed to liability.It can save you money.If your property manager is not added to your insurance policy as an additional insured, they may be forced to purchase their insurance policy to protect themselves.

A HELOC on your duplex or home offers flexible, low-interest financing ideal for BRRRR, with potential tax-deductible interest if used for property expenses.

A better comparison is to compare your potential real estate investment to whatever else you might do with the money.

What qualifications do you believe you possess that would make you a good candidate to advise others on the quality, safety and performance of potential investments?
