Multifamily properties (2-4 units) can be a great way to build your portfolio while minimizing risk—especially with FHA or conventional low-down-payment options.Also, networking is huge.

I'm ecstatic to have just secured a fantastic new short-term rental property and I'm eager to collaborate with experts to transform it into a stunning haven.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

I can do title research on my own, I've dealt with property management companies, and I've dealt with all kinds of real estate related litigation (adverse possession, title defects, foreclosures, HOA disputes, evictions, to name a few).

If you're lucky enough to get a free and clear property where the seller is willing to finance, this reduces much of the risk associated with seller-finance.I would make sure the title is then moved over to your name, especially since there is not a risk of a due-on-sale clause being triggered.

Plus, if the property is in a desirable location, you may have little trouble finding tenants.However, there are potential cons to be mindful of.

easy to build, rent, refinance repeat. might not be your market. look at the underwriting model. we underwrite every deal not only with fresh comparable but market economics change. land costs go up or down, construction costs go up or down, design modifications improve the property, comp sets can get more favorable or less favorable.

This year for 2025 my wife and I have made it a goal to improve our financial literacy to purchase another investment property.

They're very different thankfully so it feels like there's always at least one who's acting like a normal human being...A defeasance is something that happens on commercial properties when a securitized loan (like a CMBS [commercial mortgage-backed security] or agency loan) needs to be paid off early, either when you're refinancing or selling your property that has a loan on it.
