It's about as true a thing as there can be in investing.Is there any property in the United States -- not bought on a sink hole or something -- that isn't worth considerably more today than it was 20 years ago?

I know if you’re in the city of Walnut Creek it’s a bit more stringent than unincorporated, but we haven’t pulled the trigger.

Here are some steps to get started:Market Research: Identify areas with strong growth potential, low vacancy rates, and high rental demand.Financial Analysis: Evaluate the cost of construction, potential returns, and your financing options.Legal Considerations: Understand the zoning laws, building codes, and permits required for new construction in your chosen area.Sustainability: Consider incorporating green building practices to increase the property's appeal and long-term value.The Bottom LineWarren Buffett's investment in new construction underscores a broader trend in seeking alternative avenues for growth and diversification.

Especially when you’re dealing direct with a seller, emotions should be taken into consideration, and can actually help you land a deal significantly cheaper than what another investor is proposing who is coldhearted.

In hindsight, not continuing to purchase turned out to be very narrow minded.This year, after listening to some podcast episodes, and a presentation at a real estate meet up, I decided I had to reengage, and eventually pulled the trigger on the following deal.Property Details:Location: 13537 Cedar Rd., University Heights, Ohio (Cleveland Metro)Neighborhood Rating: A-Purchase Price: $153KRepairs: $65K (completion expected by May 1)Expected Total Investment: Approx. $225KProperty Features:First floor: 2 bed/1 bath, potential rent $1,200Second & third floor: 4 bed/2 bath, potential rent $1,500Separate utilities and heating/central AC systemsInitially, I projected over an 8% cash-on-cash return.

I have the funds to pull the trigger but it would be with the money I was already saving.

But TX law is different than what I am accustomed to, so it seems that filing that quitclaim would trigger the due on sale clause of our loan, which I do NOT want.  

What triggered the change order?

I don't have much to add from the actual loan terms consideration, but I would encourage you to assign each property a value for a partial release and include that in your loan terms with the seller.

I have listened to Podcasts, participated in Webinars, watched YouTube videos, read books, ran the calculators - from BRRRR to wholesaling to short-term rentals and more, but I have never pulled the trigger.
