It’s clear that there’s an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience here, and I’m excited to continue learning and growing with this community.I’m looking to connect with members who are open to mentoring or collaborating on real estate deals, particularly in buy-and-hold strategies for single-family or multi-family properties.

Really interested in investing in this market and would accept a relatively low return (or even a break even scenario because i believe in continued appreciation potential here). 

Everything is functional in the property it is a older home.

This is not one of them from my recollection.I know this does not assist but what I would say is continue to do research on them.

Continue to network with people in real estate, go to real estate meetups, connect with investors in the forums. 

@Zach Denny Did you ever put your deal together, if so I'd be curious what the bank required on CLTV and if you had to source the total down payment (PP-First Loan) then apply seller second, or if the bank let you do all that at closing functionally making your DP = PP-First Loan-Second Loan.

We plan to spend the next 6-12 months continuing to earn and save, as well as nail down a final market we want to househack in.

You increase the likelihood that you continue to receive that $8,500 each month. 

Glad you have had success and continue to do well with your portfolio@Chris Lin  Sorry to hear about your place, hoping you get resolution to your issues.

I’d wake up at 4:30am to continue watching the course, soaking up as much information as I could.
