I'm fairly handy and have good contractor connections.

Hi @Yents Ybrimovic - I love the FHA 203k renovation, but to be honest I love the Fannie May HomeStyle renovation loan even more.As an investor and a general contractor, I have used both products here in Chicago!

We are looking for companies that OWN and are accountable for the full end-to-end process including purchasing, rehabbing/build, post-close property management.

It would be wise for a buyer to feel confident that the building is in good structural condition, that it has a certificate of occupancy.

Financing-  build a relationship with a regional banker, don’t shop for interest rates, start small and build history and loyalty they are your team, Cross collateralize, deposit CD/MM or custodial account with bank for loan, give them monthly updates, nail your deal analysis, do stress tests on your deal analysis-cost/interest rate/deal length/ sale price etc. 12.  

Working as a property manager gives you such valuable insight into the market, tenant relationships, and property operations—it’s a fantastic foundation to build on.What kind of investing are you thinking about starting with?

My partners & I are flipping in Chattanooga so I hung out there for a couple of days, meeting my contractor and agent for the first time; of course I went by and took at our flip. 

You usually pay less in taxes and you build your portfolio much quicker than taking that money out. 

Professionally, i have my license and already started to build some relationships. 

Hey Chris, a few thoughts here.Considering that office is not attached to the house, I wouldn’t add any footage to the total home square footage; however, you could advertise that office space and amount of footage and amenities in your remarks.If you’re a Realtor or are using one for the sale, your local MLS may have fields dedicated to additional footage for other buildings on the property, such as ADU’s.The other point is that typically, perhaps depending upon location, a space needs to have heating to count in the square footage, which this office doesn’t have if I understand correctly.Consider contacting an appraiser to inquire about how they would handle this space on an appraisal, or a Realtor.
