.- Stock market opportunity cost: If the brokerage account has strong holdings, consider if the return potential justifies cashing out now.Given the current market dynamics and your goals, reallocating your brokerage funds into a multifamily property in Rochester could provide substantial benefits.

So does anyone have any guidance and ideas or know any banks that do rehab loans were all the money including labor is upfront and then we pay a monthly?

Good Morning,I recently moved to Maine from working overseas and am enthusiastic about the idea of flipping homes in the area!

They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).

Focus and consistency are going to be your best friends.Also, I wouldn't tackle buy-and-holds right now unless you currently have a high cash flow revenue stream in place.

Focus on market research by exploring neighborhood rent trends and property values while considering your financing strategy (house hacking, BRRRR, or buy and hold).

This idea of diversification is a very tricky philosophy to me.
