Currently the exterior is a mix of stucco, block, and wood siding.

No banks + carrying + equity cash out is a difficult mix.

Hi All, While shifting gradually (15 years) from IT to real estate (10 years now F/T) and building a portfolio for self and others I'm actively pursuing to unlock equity in order to ramp up either residential or mixed use value-add properties in designated farms in Central to Northern New Jersey.Always open to J/V, sharing & learnig for a win-win.Chees!

He is looking for 5+ multi unit complex or mixed use commercial space.

I was thinking either something smaller like a strip mall of retail or maybe a small mixed use. 

Have you decided or done research into what kind of real estate portfolio you'd like to build; SFH, small multis, commercial/mixed use or apartments? 

Our initial plan is to flip a couple of houses for proof of concept and then try to work in a mix of flips and BRRR's .  

Not a legal advice, but AFAIK you cannot mix IRA funds and loans unless your IRA invests in a security and not in a property directly.

I believe we are going to use a mix of the spreadsheet and quickbooks to keep track of our financials but as for paying contractors and vendors how do you separate each house?

I just closed on a 4 unit mixed use building in the 19th ward.The 3 apartments are in great shape.
