@Kenneth Joseph PerfidoFrom my experience, you’re in a great position with your Newport property, strong cash flow, and a low 2.8% interest rate.

If there was a house of interest listed it was get there same day and make a strong offer to even have a chance, this doesn't seem to be the case at this moment.

If you’re set on condos, ensure you’re targeting areas with strong rental demand and minimal HOA restrictions.Regarding an LLC, it’s great for liability protection, but it won’t necessarily give you tax benefits unless structured strategically.

Instead of buying at today’s inflated prices, I develop from the ground up, creating built-in equity and higher cash flow from Day 1.If you’re open to new construction, Columbus has great zoning options and strong rental demand.

By highlighting properties in high-demand areas like San Ysidro that are ripe for SB-9 developments, you'll attract savvy buyers and investors who are eager for strong returns.

The university’s experienced strong enrollment growth over the past 20+ years, so it could be a good fit if you’re willing to cater to college students or young graduates.

I would strongly consider building equity to make a stronger down payment and further decrease your monthly cost.
