If I create and fund an LLC to lend 100% to me to buy real estate and light renovate and rent it out.

Additional lights can add a lot at night but become a nuisance to tenants and neighbors.

I have since negotiated the down payment down to 15% at the same low interest rate so barring any major storm damage in the next couple of years I should have a good equity position once the light rehab is complete and won’t have an issue refinancing out.

I purchased 2 commercial zoned 'light industrial' properties in 2023.

Instead of implementing a first right of refusal, there should be an option to buy their homes from them at a fair market value/paying to move their homes elsewhere or give them the first right.This is the real issue, we are not protecting tenants by solely giving them the first right of purchase.

Purchase existing cashflow retail centers that need light cap ex and rental increases.

~we are going to buy a duplex together and use my equity in a heloc for down payment as well as save another 20k per couple over next year ~wife and I (plus 1 kid)  will move to one side, His family to the other (2kids)~going to turn my house to a rental, with the eventual goal to turn my half of the duplex to rental as well (goal is 50 doors by 50 years old I’m 31)~Market is a bit light, i am considering and open to building duplex.

Just sitting at a red light and you can smell it.  

(ball park that would include framing/drywall, electrical/recessed lights, flooring, etc.)
