My name is Omar Santander a new investor that is interested in residential units (single-family and multifamily, with a particular emphasis on multiunit), house hacking, long-distance investing, BRRRR and mid/long-term rentals.

His advice would mirror mine - to start your company, build your brand, add value to the forums here on BP if you're going to post, create the marketing for your idea, and then work your backside off to make it work. 

experience: I’m on my 3rd flipage: early 40sday job: brand and web design/development retirement savings: noneI want to learn about buy and hold to secure having SOMETHING for retirement!

In Phoenix, a 1996 build is practically brand new when compared to a WWI-era home in Cleveland or Pittsburgh or some other Midwest or East coast city.While I agree that older homes come with more problems, buying something newer may not work as the price will be higher and won't cash flow as well.I'm of the mindset to buy what fits your budget and investment goals.

We redo the kitchen with granite or quartz, stainless steel appliances and new floors if needed. 

Is this a new build?  

Land has gotten expensive in Charlotte but the new UDO has allowed for expanded density on infill lots.

I am a new investor looking for primarily multi-family properties with 2-4 units; would be willing to house hack as well depending on the opportunity.
