Hi @Leon Jamison,I can recommend my contractor. my project was $420K, 7months, funded through 203K. we went slightly over schedule (10months),mainly due to a few failed/ repeat inspections, but we were able ton finish under budget.TBH, Im actually doing a second multi family reno project in the heights, New York Ave with the same contractor beginning March 2025.Anyways, you're bound to have issues when working with any contractor.

I’ve worked with ALE before and actually market my inventory to them directly via different marketing techniques.

I would highly recommend you create a Market Report in PriceLabs to see how similar properties nearby are actually performing.

You started off good with cost being paid in stages, but it sounds like you paid before you verified they actually hit their benchmarks.b.

Wife and I both have an 800 credit score and plenty of income with a 19% DTI ratio. 2) Do you recommend that as a first timer I actually do go with a higher down payment product as I learn?

And are actually making a good career educating and assisting investors to maximize the benefit of the 1031 exchange.

Over the past few years, many groups have raised funds and acquired properties, promising investors impressive passive returns.But here’s the real question: how have these syndications actually performed?

wonder is STR actually rent in areas that are that prome to crime ?..

Got this from the sponsor - Real estate gain is 1231 - but there will also be recapture of depreciation which is ordinary income.With a few unknowns before the actual k-1 is released, it's hard to make any concrete decisions but was just wondering if I should sell some long-term held stock at fidelity to offset the gains

We actually tested the water as we wanted to verify the property was safe before renting it out to tenants.
