With an average monthly profit of about $1,175 after expenses, it’s proving to be a strong investment.If your parents sell their home and want to move in, you’d need to weigh the trade-offs—losing that steady revenue vs. the stability of a long-term tenant.

@Collin StewartSince you're PCSing to Columbia, SC, and have VA loan entitlement remaining, house hacking a small multifamily with a VA loan is a strong option since it requires zero down.

His point is well made, the DIY bias is strong on this forum, and my wife and I realized that we can only take ourselves so far before we need a coach to help us level up.

@Sharad ReddyI used to live in Davis and the area has had strong appreciation and consistent demand with the university and primary schools. 

For a 203k loan, you’ll want to target areas that have properties needing work but also a strong potential for appreciation after rehab.

Typically, a rating of A- or better is a very strong company.

if you look at forced appreciation you can do that as a strategy but you are still limited by market supply, market economics, property ages you can't control. the strategy we do Is build to rent development where you build an asset 25% below market through infill site selection, land entitlement which boosts property values, as well as refinance once the property is stabilized. new construction you can't build something unless it appraises 25% below market anyways. so I think the majority of biggerpockets is focused on the strategy you mentioned but part of what I try to do is show other strategies that involve land, new construction, build to rent development, land development, land entitlements, smart asset design of smaller floor plates, infill locations where equity and values are higher, etc. we do this in Columbus Ohio.

Forget Fiduciary, I am finding more information about Grocapitus/MultifamilyU that leads me to believe strongly that Mr.

There is still strong demand for Austin area housing.

I’m also using a 6% vacancy rate, which brings the net monthly cash flow to about $200 and a CoC return of 13.06%.Summary:I’ve created around $50k in equity (difference between ARV of $200k and total investment of $155k).I’ve got about $10k or $18,385 left in the deal (factoring in closing costs).The cash flow is healthy, and the CoC return is strong, especially as a first-time investor.Questions:Does anything look off or could I improve the numbers?
