Quote from @Dylan Webb: Hello, here's my situation:My wife and I own several properties separately.2 of the single family homes combined we have conservatively $150,000 in equity ($90,000, $60,000) I want to use one of these as collateral for a small loan of $30,000 to put down on a high cash flowing property OR have a lender finance the whole venture at a purchase price of $160,000.

My goal is to acquire my first investment property, ideally a single-family rental, by early-2025.I’m particularly interested in hearing from others who’ve navigated the Hudson Valley or Catskills markets, especially with rental properties or creative financing strategies.

We have flipping, advanced investors, woman only group, 101, multi family, landlording etc.

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

I've seen small multi-families (2-4 units) appreciate very nicely in the Lewiston/Auburn area.

Your journey from managing single-family homes to co-founding Elevate Commercial Investment Group to assist passive investors is both inspiring and instructive. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

@Iris OlivasWe have financed single-family homes that were under $100k and we have also bundled some of these sub $100K properties together for commcerical loans.

I am passionate about Tiny Homes, I started just by helping more people with creative floorplans by self teaching myself CAD design so I could help more families.
