We had an investment group willing to come in and zero-lot line a dilapidated apartment complex in Corvallis and give the tenants the opportunity to buy to help solve our affordability crisis here, but nonetheless, the city forced their hand by needing a half-street development after changing zoning that killed the deal.

My client is interested in investing in a new-construction build of a 23-unit apt. complex in a great neighborhood in San Diego. 

I would have just filed a lawsuit against them and took it from there.This situation is quite complex.

This means that even if you had 5 rental properties, for example, they would still give you that quote since they're trying to go after more complex tax returns/clients.

We have owned 14 SF rentals and 4 apartment complexes totaling near 1,000 units, and over 17 year period we have been sued exactly once.We had a 350lb resident that missed the bottom step of the staircase, fell and hurt himself. 

The beauty is, you can rinse and repeat, moving your equity up the ladder of properties, from a small duplex in Austin to a bigger aprtment complex in San Antonio, or even pivot into a promising commercial spot right here in the Phoenix area.I remember a friend of mine who started off nervous as heck about his first exchange.

While we both have strong W-2 incomes, the large number of properties I own has made conventional lenders and agents caution that securing a loan for our primary residence could be a highly complex process.I’ve consulted with some local banks I work with, and one has expressed potential interest in financing our primary home.

After some strategic renovations, the property not only provided positive cash flow but also appreciated significantly over time.Navigating the purchase of Freddie Mac homes can be a bit complex, but with the right approach and due diligence, they can offer excellent investment opportunities.

The inventory in this area is very tight and there is never much between duplexes and massive multifamily complexes.

A 1031 also adds complexity and timing pressure.Watch Out For:Opportunity Cost: Renovations tie up cash that could go toward other investments or reserves.MTR/STR Management: These models require more time and effort than LTR, even without a property manager.Market Risks: WA properties may appreciate slower than expected, and higher costs could reduce your margins.If cash flow is your priority, option 1 (renovate and STR/MTR) likely offers the highest upside.
