I am looking to build up a network here on BP.

If I purchase a building with rent-stabilized tenants, are there any legal ways to de-stabilize the units, especially after doing significant renovations or rehabbing the property?

First step would be to work with a good investor agent, second step would be getting preapproved so you know what's within your budget for your debt-to-income ratio, and third step is working with your agent to build out the rest of your time and finding a great investment deal!

It’s awesome that you want to use your downtime to learn more about the industry and make some extra income as a VA.

Connecting with investors is a great move too; it’s one of the best ways to gain real-world knowledge and build a strong foundation for your journey.What kind of investing are you most interested in? 

One key piece of advice is to make sure to build strong team around you.

For me, this is just a few extra bucks I have to pay to the CPA industrial complex.

Analyze deals, build your network, and educate yourself constantly.If you have access to unique resources (like a VA loan, FHA Loan, or 401K), use them to your advantage!

Did you modify the layout of the building (e.g., add bedrooms, reconfigure space)?

Its pretty specific to Oregon I dont see these in other states i build in.. although it could just be included in the settlement statements as a matter of course..
