I relied heavily on the PM to determine the rents, but we also used other RE tools like primary MLS's and Prop-stream to pull comparable rents in the area.

My wife and I are highly interested in Real Estate as a new stream of income and would love to purchase our first rental property in 2022!

Hi All,I recently met a fellow investor who shared an application they were using to find off market deals called prop stream.

If you are borrowing the money for the purposes of construction, the lender may require a certified general contractor to oversee or complete the project.Lastly, you might be able to add an extra income stream if you could locate a mechanic who could use the garage and live upstairs in the apartment.

To do this, other streams of income are required (obviously) before I make any leaps which is how I found Bigger Pockets.

When the market is hot, cap rates are low because buyers are willing to pay a premium for an income stream, typically on the belief that the income stream they are buying will be larger tomorrow than it is today.

I have been thinking about how I can improve my rental property portfolio consisting of 8 unit streams.

My concern is there is a creek/ stream that runs right behind the property and do not want to run into future problems with flooding if I were to hold this long term like my initial plan.

I live in Gardena California on the border of the now famous Compton California due to all the rapper murders and the new King Richard movie.
