The prices are more closely tied to the income they generate vs what the people next door paid for their house.As for your long term goals, I am not sure starting with a duplex or four plex will open the door for owning in that asset class (larger multifamily) the way you might think it would.

But either way, beyond the cutting edge and there to support people who need to sell regardless. 

Everything is tied to the master account, which is my holding company, then broken down into sub accounts per LLC and per property.

If the Fed cuts rate later this fall you'll have an easier time selling!

I tie all of my analysis to current market because that’s what determines how it’s performing vs other possible investments.

Expected Fed rate cuts could lower borrowing costs2.

Even if you are not an expert electrician after a Summer or a year of weekends and holidays, you will know more than most and perhaps be able to do your own minor repairs and know where people you hire in the future cut corners and you will learn appropriate pricing.4. 

I’ve had a lot of people do this with me where they will lend me money on some of the deals that I do and then I will give them a deed of trust, which ties their money to a specific property that has much more equity than the sum of the loans.

Since it will eventually be a rental property and you'll have to hire someone to cut the grass anyway (I assume there's grass😂) would trimming the hedges add a lot to the expense, or add a lot to the desirability of the property?

Any advice is greatly appreciated :) DanielThere are no clear cut info online or course..
