My big goal for my career if I pursued this would be to be developing commercial real estate projects and building a portfolio of my own real estate investments.  

The initial cost can be high, but no maintenance or water costs afterward.Good luck with your project! 

Right now, it can probably go for $700,000.Summer renting is tough, because people know that the heat is no joke, and it doesn't seem like there is much demand during the summer months.My elementary math is telling me that I can earn 1.82% on my $700K.

Let’s share experiences and insights to ensure we’re all getting the best possible deals on our projects.

The discipline and precision you've honed in sports will surely serve you well in your new venture.It sounds like you’re already making great strides with your rental and flipping projects in St.

We might move back to the East Coast in 4-5 years, so I’m looking for investments that can work well as a primary residence now and a rental property later.Income: Both my girlfriend and I have solid tech salaries (150k+ each).Current Portfolio: I don’t currently own any rental properties.Goal & Long Term Plan: I don’t love my current job so like many of you, I would like to create enough passive income through rental properties to have financial freedom and be able to work business ideas or side projects.

Calculate potential rental income, expenses, and any projected appreciation to see how each option would impact your overall portfolio.

You're absolutely right, creativity is essential to make deals work in this environment, and building from the ground up, especially in high-demand areas like Raleigh, can be a great solution.Your current project sounds like a smart move, particularly with the zoning for a duplex and ADUs.

In other words, they don't really consider my projections for the enhanced (very enhanced) cash flow from the furnished operation.  

Hey everyone- I'm considering building some investment properties and am interested in chatting with builders, contractors or property owners who have used either Procore or Buildertrend to manage their projects.
