They sell a 4 unit for close to 1 million dollars close to Jacksonville. they want 250k or 300k down. there's no upside. you can google the properties on biggerpockets and there isn't a lot of satisfaction. it's a slow return and get rich slow strategy. our focus is always as a builder to add maximum value, lower cost as low as possible, build and rent and build and sell the same product and raise prices to help investors out. we have a large market share and large purchasing power in our market in columbus ohio. the one strategy I never liked about turnkey new build brokerage companies like them and build2rent or others is they don't really build close to urban centers and most are single family homes. the numbers don't work on single family homes. if single family was the way to go more companies would be doing it. but by far the most common type of new construction built is three story walk up apartments.

Quote from @Joy Daniels: As a short-term property manager I've seen how this industry changes so often—new guest trends, tech tools, and regulations seem to pop up all the time.

HI, I own a part share of a nice recently renovated house in North London, with other members of my family owning the rest, left to me in my fathers estate, with probate granted in 1999, as a tenant in common.

You can see this in the graph below:The graph also shows that DOM is worst in 2024 than any of the previous 6 years:(So, you are not alone in experiencing this.Now, just don't take this as a pass to not try harder to find your own solution for this problem:)

Since this opportunity came up, I've begun to take real estate more seriously as a path to financial freedom.

The advice I would give as a lender are these few options if you both are on mortgage.

Just unlikely you'll allocate all the money as a HML without a super strong network which may be unlikelier than all deals being properly paid on time.You'll need to invest $8million gross, at 10% gross returns to make $40k/mo net.

As a lender, it is my firm belief that honesty, transparency and service are the most important factors.

I've heard about wholesale real estate as a way to get started without a ton of money, but Im still trying to figure out if thats the right move for me. 

Need advice: first deal as a beginner.
