My advice for you (and my future self) so far is:- be very detailed about underwriting your deal- add at least 30% to what you think your rehab will cost (even if this figure came from a GC)- have a really detailed design concept before work starts (including fixtures/trim/color scheme/etc)- check with your city/township's building department and see what permits you need up front- have more than one exit strategy- add a few weeks/months to your projected timeline- purchase cash if at all possible- build relationships, take notes, and learn lessons along the way- have funGood luck!

28 July 2024 | 3 replies
.- While self-managing either type of property is possible, if you hire out property management you'll pay a higher percentage for a skilled MTR manager than for someone to manage your Section 8 property.- While MTRs can be any size property, the bedroom/bathroom count is really important, especially with larger properties.
Patrick Thomas Dickinson Sell my primary capturing the equity and investing that money in the stock market
29 July 2024 | 5 replies
My current primary ( scenario 1) Keep the primary for the life of the loan ( current rate is 4.5 so i dont see my self refinancing anytime soon)current home value 1,150,000Loan amount 935,000appreciation estimate 5% per year after a 28 year hold and the house is paid off I would have a house worth 4,312,000$my current mortgage is 6125$ ( piti) included My second option( scenario 2) Sell the house, walk away with $150 ,000 ish in hand and put that into a low cost index fund Rent a house elsewhere for about 3000$ ish and take the extra 3000$ im saving everymonths from not having to pay my mortgage and puting that money in the index fund as well I ran the numbers on both of these scenarios and doing what I mentioned above would break even at about 28 years meaning my stock account would be worth 4.3 million just like my house would , but the only is that holding a house for 28 year would mean 28 years of property taxes, loan interest ,home insurance and repairs etc whick I calculated to be about 1,200,000$ at minimum which raised my eyebrows to say the least Also i understand that each of these options ( stock market vs real estate ) will have there tax consequences ( long term capital gains) so any thoughts on that would be appreciated as well.
