Purchase price: $45,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Single family buy & holdHey @Malcolm Grundy!

This experience has provided me with a strong foundation in acquisitions, valuations, and deal sourcing.

My 2-5 year goal is to acquire 1-2 more multi-family homes. 

diversification and cash flowSan Jose, CA has been very appreciation heavy... and i'm not opposed to keeping some property here, though the multi-family / commercial real estate has very low cap rates, and low growth from what i'm seeing.

Does anyone have experience exchanging their small multi family property into a single family home, use it as an investment property then move into it as a primary residence after meeting the requirements?

@Lauren MerendinoI strongly believe that your chosen market should be somewhere that you can go to in person / have strong personal knowledge of / have family or a network in already.  

@Arun MaheshwariFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, Richmond, Texas, is a promising location for single-family home investments due to its growing population, suburban appeal, and proximity to Houston's strong job market.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I bought and am wanting to get an appraisal for a single family home being used as a rooming house.

While my budgets are strong, they still require manual adjustments, and I’m looking to automate this process for greater efficiency.My background in technology and AI—along with my experience running a publishing house—has taught me the value of scalable systems.
