Quote from @Kris Kempe: Hey BP fam, Have a single family home I got under contract and planned on wholesaling.

This active income can help me fund my retirement as well as help me get reimbursement for home office and health care premium while lower my tax liability.

It might make the most sense to just sell your primary residence and use it as 40% to 50% down payment on your future home. 

A local property manager will make this much easier and handle the visits for you.Single-family homes can still do well, even with more apartments popping up, as they cater to tenants who want privacy and space.

I'm struggling because the first 3 homes I bought were homerun off market deals 3-4 years ago w/ great cash flow and appreciation. 

I am going to be lending to an investor on a single family home.

Here’s how they approached it:1.Scraping Listings: They used web scraping tools like Beautiful Soup and GPT APIs to scan Airbnb for properties in their target areas.2.Image Analysis: They trained an AI model to analyse listing photos, identifying homes with solid potential (good structure, layout, location) that were undervalued due to low-quality photos.

He told me that he owned a couple large mobile home parks in town and that's what started everything for me.

I have heard comments that homes in TX or GA need a major rehab after 10 years, builders use MDF for trim, pressboard under siding instead of OSB sheeting etc As an investor we buy 1960s homes, they have good bones and are worth an update.

But then as the home prices kept going up, they decided to get out of the market, thinking that there would either be another crash or home prices had gotten too high at that point.
