Hard money’s an option if the right deal comes along, but I’d prefer to keep holding costs down.And yeah—reno chaos is a given.

I would prefer to have control over my own property.

My preferred market buyers being investors and cash-buyers.

Also, what is the preferred credit score when refinancing does it matter?

@Marcos De la Cruz There's no hard & fast minimum - it's based on your personal return preferences...usually I recommend to my CFO clients that they make an annual somewhat higher than what they could get by investing in the stock market.

I currently live in New Britain, 06051, but prefer the other end of town closer to Central CT State University, 06053.

If I were in their shoes, I would prefer you pay me directly for control the money used for care and other expenses.

(I prefer to find them myself when I have enough to buy my first property) At most, you get a person who checks on you for the first 4 weeks (once a wk) and then tells you what to do to strengthen your REI avatar.

Starting small with multifamily properties is my ideal preference at the moment, as I focus on learning, growing, and immersing myself in as much information, data, and real-time experience as possible.As I build my investment portfolio, I could definitely see myself being interested in scaling up to larger acquisitions in the future, but for now, my focus is on mastering the fundamentals and starting small.

I am aware of companies like Pad Split, but would prefer to have a more traditional company overseeing the day to day since I am out of state the majority of the year.
