If you’re wondering how much equity you’ve built or how you can use it to meet your goals, connect with a local real estate agent to explore the possibilities.

I am still up there pretty frequently though so if there are every any REI meetups that you know about or a way to find those I would love to explore that possibility!

Message me if you want to explore options or discuss further.

I have been exploring gigs and hustles to build capital in addition to my 9-5 towards a property, but the growth is not moving at the pace that I would like it to. 

However, I am not closed to the idea of exploring other markets! 

If they’re really in a bind, you could even explore something creative, like seller financing or a subject-to deal (where you take over their mortgage payments).

Starting with a smaller property or a few fix-and-flip projects can help you build equity, gain credibility with lenders, and better understand the process before scaling up.Securing funding for larger projects can be challenging without prior experience, but options like hard money loans might be worth exploring.

If they won't let you build on it, explore doing a lot tie agreement so that you can combine the parcels and when you go to resell it, you can ask for a higher price point based on the large lot.

To improve your approval chances, use rental income from your first property, consider co-signers, and explore lenders that use Income-Based Repayment (IBR) for student loans.

When scouting for properties, explore areas on the west side as well as some parts of the east for potential opportunities.
