Although I’ve been investing in real estate, both directly and indirectly for 45+ years, I still get a “queasy” feeling when an investment does not perform as expected.My “aha” moment occurs when we reach the point when, despite the investment problems, we’re able to still show a good/substantial profit at the end of our holding period.  

@Philip AndersonMultifamily properties in Ventura can perform well due to the area's high rent demand, but inventory can be tight.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Oregon finally passed legislation to reel in unlicensed wholesaling its in this months publication from the state RE agency.Highlights:Goes into effect  July 1 2025Requires:On line application to become a licensed wholesaler  ( RE agents exempt from this of course they already have licenses)Name of company and individuals who will be performing these services.Each one needs a full criminal background check and approval prior to receiving the license.300.00 annual fee for the license.Written Disclosures in Bold 10 point.These must be given to Buyer and Sellers prior to entering into a wholesale contract and signed for.Also RE brokers assisting wholesalers need to give these to potential buyers and sellers.

What’s your exit strategy if the partnership doesn’t perform as expected?

Originally the program was developed for Facebook and Google, to power their data centers there, but TVA has opened it up to the 7-state service area.

I think one important note that I omitted from my original post was some background info.

Depending how much of the neighborhood is a hot zone for renting rather buying, and which Property type is performing better than the other (meaning 1bd 1ba 2 floor renting out faster and much more consistently than a 2bd 1ba 1 floor), you can make your choice of those factors as well as other ones that impact your decision for what you wanna do with your investment.

Our two story more family homes started at 500k and have ended up at 675k to 725k.. with our original nets at 100k ( was the goal) to now we are 100k to 150k NET NET NET on those.. we have 17 more to deliver and 11 are presold at those high numbers and so if I can keep lumber where i need it we should have a very nice last year of the project.

I wish we would have started with that approach originally when we began our journey, but it's never too late to get started.

Are you currently managing your own properties or do you have a property manager because many times a property manager can perform the work needed for it to be turnkey.
