@Cheng ChuMcKinney is a fantastic market with strong population growth, and it’s a great choice for single-family home (SFH) investments.

He bought a home for himself in Lodi California but work in the Bay Area long story short he can’t deal with the commute anymore and decide to stay with a buddy close to work.

I’m a home inspector and Field Services Director at Pro-Spect Jax in Florida, where I help homebuyers make informed decisions about their investments.

Quote from @Samuel Hudson: Hello friends I am new the market and recently bought a home in Weehawken 6 months backs .Its a three family home and we are currently doing renovations Right now.The rent leveling board told me that two units would have to follow a rent of 1650 for unit 1 which has three bedrooms and another unknown amount for unit 2 which they don’t have the information for .The previous seller I purchased the property from bought it as a tax lien .He has kept the property vacant for two years with no tenants before selling it to me .However ,the previous Owner he bought it from must have had tenants .I am putting in a lot of money into renovations and want some clarity on the situation I am in .The property has been vacant for the two years and currently still is as we are doing renovation .It would be really appreciated if anyone can assist me on what information needs to be provided by from the previous seller for me to be able to set the rent based on the market value .Thank you .

Does anyone have experience exchanging their small multi family property into a single family home, use it as an investment property then move into it as a primary residence after meeting the requirements?

I found out their repair guy is also their home inspector... so he is checking his own work... it's shady shady shady... run away.  

Hi, Looking to buy Investment property,Single Family home in Richmond,Houston.Texas.

Home is potentially upside down on mortgage (verifying that) and current owner wants too much for the house.

Focus on smaller single-family homes, condos with low HOA fees, or multi-family properties in these regions, and build a reliable local team of agents, property managers, and other professionals to ensure a smooth investing experience.
