Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the feeling of closing that deal and realizing that you've made it happen.As investors experience the profitability of our deals, they become more than just satisfied partners.

They usually require experience and they are lots of docs needed from architect drawings to a lot of permitting. 

Your background as a licensed architect with experience in commercial and residential projects is an incredible asset, especially here where so many members are navigating construction, renovations, and design challenges.Out of curiosity, have you worked on any projects that were particularly challenging or rewarding?

Whether an individual consultant or a mentor through a program, mentors provide the foresight and support you eventually need because of their experience.

Up until then I was cheerleading the earlier thought experiments about supporting lean/regular/fat income with ~$1000 / month per paid off SFH, thinking “I could bang that out in 5 years”.

Question for landlords or anyone with experience on this on.

It is usually much easier to seal a existing door way then it is to move walls in my experience. 

@Peter W.From my experience, a second-home investment strategy works best when you meet lender conditions like owner occupancy and rental restrictions.

There are multiple big properties here that you could rent out or even buying multifamily here would give you your own space and give you some landlord experience without having to live with your tenants. 

I would appreciate tips from anyone who has experience making this model work in these areas or similar markets.Looking forward to your advice and recommendations!
