It's typically both.I bet dollars to donuts your tenants are paying less than the rentals are worth and they are trashing them.

Bet you know who that is don't ya Carlos? 

Hey @Jon Pflueger - your best bet will be to retain an architect, they typically have a good understanding of what's feasible and not in a specific zoning/area + will know how to handle variance permissions and etc. 

15 acres for a lot sounds huge to me and I'll bet you could be missing out on some extra $ by not getting more lots.

@Laura CasnerFocus on quality over quantity in real estate investing, celebrate progress, refine criteria, explore secondary markets, and explore different property types.

thanks Your best bet is to partner with a GC or find a GC that a friend of yours trusts.

It's hard to say for sure without knowing your market numbers, but I would bet you if you looked at a 10 year projection, you will probably have a better ROI with the equity in 2 houses as opposed to the equity and cash flow with one. 

It has been mentioned above but your best bet is to separate the SFR and the 8 unit into two separate transactions.

I’m also not a fan of buying a property that loses money every month, while hoping for appreciation and betting that interest rates will fall.

Hi Luca,a rate/term bridge with rehab budget would be your best bet. there would be no PPP's since it's a bridge, you'd be able to pay off the existing lien, and you'd get your funds to do some renovations to the property.I should be able to help with this, but I'd need more information on the property and how much in rehab you are looking to do.
