I often times bounce questions like this off my local RE attorney first and then move forward quickly.  

I came across an RE opportunity that seems too good to be true but number works.

Would love to connect with local RE agents and have an idea of the market situation in SA.

I am starting out and planning to make my first RE investment in the Q1 2025.

Times are changing somewhat though, so maybe over time if they are not supportive now, they will be at some point in the future. 

I asked him a lot of questions about the business and as soon as I got home I was doing research and joining RE forums focused on multi family.

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

Insurance was a huge challenge, but BiBerk (a Berkshire Hathaway company) was willing to write a policy for us. 

.🔹 Great for Sellers & Investors – Motivated sellers can turn a vacant or hard-to-sell property into income while investors secure future deals without a huge upfront commitment.🔹 Ideal in Any Market – Whether home prices are rising or falling, lease options allow you to lock in today’s price while benefiting from future appreciation.Other creative strategies—like seller financing, subject-to deals, and the BRRRR method—can also open doors, but lease options remain one of the most powerful, low-risk, minimal cash out-of-pocket ways to build a portfolio.
