Caretakers house moving along.  

Hi Jenna, house-hacking is the way to go.

If I had to guess I would say your money could “develop” 1-2 houses in Staten Island but in the right market you could easily get up to 12 or possibly more good units fully paid for.

After 20 years in real estate and working with a lot of military investors, I can say house hacking is a great fit for you.

I got my GC license a couple years ago so I could build houses myself as I was sick of dealing with contractors.I've hired plenty of contractors that were not licensed/insured and it went fine.

I am interested in acquiring a 10-acre lot with a house listed for $1.6M in a Houston suburb and would like to investigate financing options for building a commercial structure on the property.

Get your CRM up and running and keep in contact with everyone with content about the market, keeping in touch with past clients - just asking them how their house is, let them know that you were thinking of them when you drove past the house,  ask them if they made any improvements, etc.

If you have a lake house, why would they restrict the guests from using the lake?

I wanted your typical 3 bedroom house (not necessarily 2 bath) which cash flows.

Learn the eviction procedure for your area, perhaps contact a lawyer in the field to help you with this one, and get the fraudster you're currently housing out on the sidewalk to sleep in a cardboard box where they belong.You're going to lose plenty of money here, but this will never happen to you again, and you can minimize your losses if you move as quickly as possible.
