Consider the "2 of the last 5 year rule" to avoid capital gains.

Once I've completed these initial projects and built up some capital, my long-term goal is to transition into buy-and-hold investments in potentially more affordable markets to maximize cash flow and scale up.Right now, I'm particularly interested in investing locally here in the Seattle metro area.

Added capital and acted s general contractor for compete gut remodel What was the outcome?

That will buy you some time to get more capital together, and you know that money will be used to perform the job.

Market timing, properly acquired property, personal capital available How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Another option is investing in real estate through partnerships or fractional ownership, focusing on properties that yield cash flow or appreciation potential.For long-term growth, consider diversifying into assets such as private equity, tax liens, or even certain types of real estate that offer both capital appreciation and income potential over time.

Find one that fits with your life and how much effort/capital you have.

I realized how much of an impact the right agent can have, especially one who:Truly understands the market.Has firsthand experience.Is willing to share their knowledge.Now, with his guidance, I’m working on a project that could be a game-changer—if we can bring in the right capital partners.

Simply put, we start off with the As Repaired/Completed Value (ARV), then subtract from that number a reasonable profit, the rehab cost (scope of work), which we've gotten good at, a contingency reserve for any "unexpecteds", our cost of capital/carrying costs (interest and costs of the leverage used), and our costs/fees on the buy and sell sides of a flip.

I want to exit as I don't get any personal use from the STR being 20 mins from home and would rather apply the capital to another opportunity in multifamily (LTR) or another STR in Hawaii where my brother is a broker and now manages STRs.
