You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

You want to find a balance of investing experience, but strong track record of multifamily sales (which you can see on their Zillow profile).

In my experience stoves and refrigerators have WAY less issues than washers, dryers, and probably dishwashers. 3.

Based on my 20+ years of real estate experience, I’d say renting the condo might not be the best option—$2,000/month rent minus $800 in condo fees leaves you with just $1,200 before taxes and maintenance, and seniors' condos can be tricky to rent.

I'm happy to share my experience as both a flipper and a lender.

If you are moving from your SFR to another property, then you should be able to get a 5% down loan or even 3% if it's FHA.  25% is only if you won't be living in the property in my experience.

Paulette,Thanks for sharing that awful experience. 

(been working and succeeding since 2008 or before, someone you have experience with, good returns, close to 5yr investment?)

So I missed out on taking a year off with my wife and kids and just fully enjoying the time we could experience together. 

Even if getting the permits winds up costing $30K, to me... it still seems worth it.Does anyone have any experience with something like this?
