Transitioning to a Second Property with Low Money DownIf a second FHA loan is not an option, here are alternative strategies to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses:Conventional Loan with 5% Down: Once you’ve added equity to your current property, consider refinancing into a conventional loan to free up your FHA eligibility.

Look for brokerages that cater to investors or offer minimal oversight plans, such as virtual or flat-fee brokerages.

Seller Financing I am the buyer with 30 days to purchase the property and want to simultaneously market it as rent-to-own,  how can I structure the process effectively:Can I structure the deal this way, so I can secure a tenant-buyer while working to close on the home myself,  minimizing my risk and creating a win-win situation.

Consider if refinancing after increasing rents could work, and whether MTR/STR demand is strong enough to sustain long-term profitability.Keep as LTR with Minimal Cash Flow: While this avoids a cash outlay, being cash flow negative or barely breaking even isn’t sustainable long-term.

@Tim HoltFrom my experience, house hacking can work well if you focus on minimizing living expenses and setting yourself up for future cash flow.

A short loan term with a balloon payment is common, as it minimizes long-term risk for you.

But thats part of the being OOS and as I gain more experience and I better team I can minimize that.

Can anyone recommend or point me in the direction of finding exceptional real estate cpas for an older client who wants to minimize tax burden when selling her farm this yr?

Any law that tries to do otherwise conflicts with sb13 and ab2533 (unless the unpermitted units was created post dates of protection by those laws).i agree he should get it permitted especially if close to the price quoted, but issues due to unpermitted units that are protected be sb13 and/or ab2533 present minimal risk and if it does happen get HCD to assist in any issues. 

I mean this stuff happens in rental houses that are nice and newer or new. you either keep them in great shape which cost money or you buy rentals that you simply do minimal work on as the tenants paying 700 or 800 month have a very different expectation than a tenant paying 1700 a month.
