Hi Greta,It’s great that you’re considering your next investment and exploring both real estate and acquisitions.

Diversify Funding Sources: Explore various funding avenues, such as construction loans, crowdfunding, private investors, and institutional lenders.

I’m based in the NY/NJ area, and I’m exploring a few different options:1.Bank Loan – I know banks usually require steady income to approve a mortgage, but would a large down payment (maybe 20-30%) and good credit be enough to get approved?

If you'd like help exploring financing options for new construction, I’d be happy to assist!

I want to jump in that hot tub with my kids after 8 other strangers have been in that same water doing who knows what - said no one EVER.4) Depending on the market you are in, it may be required to drain, clean and refill after every guest.I have 4 hot tubs and two of them are on wells.  

I'm exploring different financing options to expand my real estate portfolio and I'm interested in learning about various terms and rates that have worked for others.

Exploring all solutions to repay the Bridge Loan and even partner with anyone who may have a solution in exchange for ownership in a property in a good neighborhood and tenants who are on time with rent payments.

@Michael PetersRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I am planning to attend BPCON with my wife and two kids 10 years old. 

Kids have been way more destructive in our experience than have any dogs.
