@Caryn Fischer You can sell your house to your child below fair market value (FMV), but the difference is treated as a gift.

Loan officers with 25 years of experience typically are more experienced, and have less time per file, because they have an abundance of files.Loan officers with 25 months of experience typically are less experienced, but have more time to devote to you.I can't write my own loans, so when I'm getting a loan I prefer working with less busy people when I'm doing my own real estate investment, they're more responsive and dedicated it feels like.

If you have a building background, I would work with an architect and build some unique places that are stick built to hold the equity value better.

Additionally, many deals tend to fly under the radar, so networking within organizations like NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers) can help uncover opportunities.If anyone reading this is considering selling their property management company in Texas, feel free to share—I’m genuinely interested in connecting.

Shout out to permit professionals like Roy Hasson (just a friend in LA specializing in navigating permit process - this is not a business play we do not work together), who are dedicated to helping others and will likely develop similar resources to support their communities through the rebuilding process.If you’re working on rebuilding efforts or have questions, feel free to connect with me—I’d love to collaborate.

Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions as well.

How did you add value to the deal?

You will also need about 6 months of reserves deposited in a traditional financial institution rather than a crypto account.The next step is to find the target property and calculate the acquisition costs and costs of construction along with the after-repair value.
