My focus is on finding lots or land for new construction, opportunities for fix-and-flip projects, long-term rental holds, or multi-family investments.At 42 years old, I have decided to leave the corporate world behind after 22 years.

The price-to-rent ratios are generally unfavorable, and a shortage of skilled tradespeople and reliable property management can hinder the success of buy-and-hold rental investments.

While I don't expect another 2008 size wave, I do see a large hold back of inventory coming to market. 

With 400K my initial thought is doing a BRRR/Flip that is close enough for you to be hands on.

I'm interested in buy and hold for now, might do some fix and flips later on. 

Typically, commercial properties are financed in the name of the entity that holds them.

Syndications are a very hands off (after all the work of vetting the GP and deal are done) of investing.

we ran into this in FLA  a few years back when I had 4 starts and I exited that market.. permits  sub base all pretty tough for someone who is not there and already knows the systems hands down and has a devoted loyal sub base.. thats the key in my mind.

We like doing the hard work of doing due diligence, researching property histories, getting estimates, negotiating contracts, etc.We're also going to be looking to buy and hold in the near future possibly by BRRRRing.

Plus a projected few grand in holding costs for HOA, Insurance, and utilities I am expecting the total cash out of pocket to land around $198k.This property is currently listed for sale for $245k.
