Whether it’s reconfiguring layouts, adding square footage, or converting single-family homes into multi-unit rentals, the goal is to unlock value where others don’t see it.Distressed properties aren’t for everyone, but for those willing to put in the work, they offer some of the best returns in real estate. 

Start with your closest friends and family but they will invest with you because of your relationship not necessarily because of the real estate or your real estate acumen. 

No Personal Use: You or family members cannot live in or personally use the property.2.

I think if you can nail that down you will be able to find a market easier.As a buy and hold investor some of the things that were important to me when deciding on a market were landlord tenant laws, price to rent ratio, housing demand, ability to build a team, large population 500K plus, multi-family availability and some other factors.take the process step by step and you will be fine. 

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.

Our two story more family homes started at 500k and have ended up at 675k to 725k.. with our original nets at 100k ( was the goal) to now we are 100k to 150k NET NET NET on those.. we have 17 more to deliver and 11 are presold at those high numbers and so if I can keep lumber where i need it we should have a very nice last year of the project.

We do want to settle in a little bit here while continuing to do our homework, but hope to get into something in the next 6-12 months.With the way interest rates are looking now and what little I see on public listings, I think a smaller multi-family that needs a little rehab would be the best bet. 

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment. 3 unit apartment complex What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I currently own (and property manages) one investment property (2 family rental).

Focus on smaller single-family homes, condos with low HOA fees, or multi-family properties in these regions, and build a reliable local team of agents, property managers, and other professionals to ensure a smooth investing experience.
