I just realized tonight that if I can get a place on seller financing or subto, I don't HAVE to move my family into a multi-family for one year before we can move on and move up!

If you have 500k in equity, not sure what the actual equity is: would you rather - repurchase your current property and assume and 2.6% rate ORfind some other investment that is made with the intention of being an investmentYou said the house is large and new - so current chances that you need major CAPEX is low but as this home ages and is in an expensive market realize that those updates will also be expensive.

I realize they live in the same structure as you do so this is hard.

It is still profitable, but just another consideration for people who get heart eyes when seeing the cash flow but don't realize the maintenance they are getting into. 

I realized that most of the classes we lost after our 6 months were on matts you tube and podcast videos.

First variant factor for valuation is conversion factor of gross to net revenues, both in current realized and potential.

Just be the best 'you' you can be and realize it is more important to know what you don't know than to try to show everyone what you do know.

Been a Special Education teacher for 25 years- trying to retire and have studied real estate investing... realize I cannot do my own flips after buying my forever home after the hurricane... but that is a different story!

When we dug further about the inaccuracies, we realized that the answers the seller provided about verbal agreements or things known but not included in the lease actually existed but he just did not divulge. 

I realize everyone here wants 500 doors rollin cash into our accounts so we can travel the world.
