I’d love to hear more about your goals and how you’re planning to use your license to grow.Wishing you all the best on this journey—feel free to reach out if you ever want to connect or chat strategy! 

As for the areas to target, my goal in getting our feet wet as real estate investors--and since we plan to be living in Sac--is to find a property we can live in while renting out one or more units to help cover our housing expenses, which we can then hold and continue to rent out when we move.

.: I just hired an architect to design and plans submit for ADU in my 8 multi unit to use the tuck under parking.Some people say do not try to be the general contractor as it will take way more time, costly mistakes and will be nearly impossible to manage with current work. best to hire a company that will do it all and cost about $250 per square foot.

Now I am brand new to real estate so this could be dumb but I'm reading Brandon Turners "Rental Property Investing" book and I was intrigued by chapter 3 where he list out 4 plans to start with when getting into real estate.

Happy to keep the conversation going if anyone wants to dive deeper into trends or specifics!

But, it may not offer the ROI as other locales, and it may not be "fun" like buying in a favorite vacation spot.2 - The highest ROI folks - Self explanatory, will go where ROI is high and/or regulation low.3 - The second home/retirement minded - These people are looking for minimal ROI but want the house in a specific location because they like to use the property and want it to pay for itself.

Is there anything specific I should focus on during the due diligence process, particularly regarding title and document inspection, compared to a traditional sale?

Also, be careful with your lease terms: we specify all tenants, including minors, and state "No Others" specifically.

It’s also worth verifying if Beaumont and Port Arthur have any specific contractor registration or insurance requirements, as local compliance can sometimes impact project timelines. 

@Anita Z.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, tax planning and financial planning.
