Looking forward to learning and growing along the way.Best,Dan Hi Dan, welcome to the BP group, any certain type of RE investing appeal to you?

Single-family homes benefit from a larger buyer pool, appealing to families and owner-occupants, which makes them easier to sell.

During the renovation phase, adhere strictly to the scope of work and budget, conducting regular walkthroughs to monitor progress and ensure quality.As the project nears completion, prepare for sale by staging the property to highlight its best features and create buyer appeal.

Looks like the fence fell down at the end.For a weekend of work and a few hundred in supplies, I think you could make the place look much more appealable. 

Even in the nice locations, most top out around $2,800.Of course there is also your increased insurance, vacancy, repairs, CapEx, and the never mentioned reduced rent on the main house since having a stranger living in your backyard usually isn't appealing to most renters. 

I understand the appeal of the E2 visa route, and there are indeed a few franchises that cater to that niche.

Lastly, if you still decide syndications are appealing, get educated on how to vet the lead sponsor (including deep background checks), the market, and the deal itself (even though some concepts are similar, it is not the same as the single family long term rental analysis).

The idea of my credit union where I bank holding these loans and servicing them and never selling them, keeping it as simple as possible is what sounds the most appealing to me after these experiences.  

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit lifted the lower court's nationwide preliminary injunction that had paused the Corporate Transparency Act's requirements for filing beneficial ownership information (BOI).

I'll have to look into that and see how I could explain it to this seller in a way that makes it appealing to them.
