Given you and your investor both have experience in different areas, I’d say keep a flexible approach and compare city requirements before putting too much money down.

In the last 18 months various states have instituted new rules, regulations or laws related to (1) need for licensure to wholesale (2) restrictions on marketing of a property in which you do not have ownership and (3) disclosure requirements when dealing with a homeowner that makes it clear to the homeowner that the contact signed with the wholesaler is not a definitive “sales” contract, therefore making it less likely home owners will sign4.

Did you use a hard money loan for this? 

But I strongly urge anyone to always get Aldermanic support before proceeding because it makes life--and the entire project / process--a whole lot easier. :)IN SUM: Based on what you've shared, it sounds like you won't need to rezone if you just want to build a duplex.

Four thoughts:- Make the applicant tell you if they have a service or emotional support animal in their application.

Not sure if hard money would be the correct route to go for this one or not

Always have rent money coming in from the duplex vs SFH (not).2.  

Even if one has to provide the education to some of the parties as to why a particular creative solution makes a win-win-win for all. 

There is no SST and makes it easier to house hack 3-4 unit properties and you can use that loan repeatedly while with FHA loans you can only have one at any given time.

I love investing and developing myself, but I do not have enough experience, and this is what makes me hesitant to enter this field.So I want to ask you, what are the ways that will make me start investing in real estate or long-term housing?
