They negotiate with the credit card companies on your behalf, helping you get the largest possible credit line.

Whether it's through sustainable practices, adaptive reuse, or innovative space planning, the possibilities are endless. 

I don't think your first property needs to be perfect, but doing the work in advance gives you the possibility of refi (in a good rate environment) or more equity on a HELOC.

Hi,We recently (Aug 2024) bought commercial land of around 2 acres. this was part of bigger commercial lot (around 25 acres) which had AG exemption and so the taxes that they paid was around $20 each year. we received a 'AG ROLLBACK' letter from the appraisal district that starting 2025 tax year, we will be taxed at it market value resulting in additional taxes, interest and possible penalities for 3 prior years.

He asked if it’s "possible."

I believe that connecting with experienced investors and fellow newcomers will be invaluable as I navigate this path.I am particularly interested in short term rentals, multi-family rentals, and possibly fix and flips. 

Another possibility is looking into a home equity line of credit (HELOC) on your personal residence, which could help you tap into available equity without a large lump-sum repayment upfront.

Fix it.We eliminate as much landscaping as possible: we take out flower beds and most decorative features, ideally, lawn mowing is the only job tenants have to do, because we know that's all we can expect from most.

My goal for this year is to work on buying my first investment real estate property in 2025 and possibly a second before year end.

You don't want to overstretch on the first one.In terms of evaluating quality deals, you won't know what those are for a while so you want to get as many reps looking at properties as possible.
