Hello Helena, I would recommend you to focus on the west and north west suburbs, Katy, Cypress and Spring as far as areas.

From what you’ve described, it sounds like you’re more focused on long-term appreciation and future benefits rather than immediate cash flow.

Instead of stressing over timing it perfectly, focus on making sure the deal still works even if rates shift.Since you’re buying in Norfolk, check if lenders there offer any investor-friendly incentives.

There is more, but let's focus on doing things legally and properly instead..There is a flip side to SubTo, where it works and why.

And are there any other skills I should focus on and develop?

It took about 15k to clean, paint and band-aid the property to the point where we could fire sale it.

Initially, I was focused on multifamily properties, but after doing more research and considering that I will be making Florida my primary residence, I believe that house hacking or short-term rentals (STR) may be the ideal route for me.i still will own my Southern California home; shift it to secondary.  

•If you’re focused on protection, hold off on the LLC transfer or explore a land trust.

DSCR loans focus on the cash flow generated by the property rather than your personal DTI.

We were wondering if it would be best for him to get the degree or to drop out and focus on making money and getting experience in real estate instead (or try and do both)?
