If you're an agent or investor, how do you build trust and partnerships in global markets? 

Pre-construction homes, which could build $50-60K in equity within a year or two.I can afford a 20% down payment, but I’m torn between focusing on equity (pre-con) or cash flow (resale).

We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.

This, in turn, allows for higher rental rates or quicker sales, directly impacting the ROI.I could remember when an investor purchased an old, three-story commercial building at  a bustling downtown area.

Don't make the rookie mistake of overlooking build quality. 

This is to compare to stand-alone retail buildings of similar usable square footage.thanks! 

You will need to check with the city/building inspector to determine your options first.

Imagine turning your retirement savings into a powerful tool for building real estate wealth—without spending a dime!

While you're focusing on building your capital, I recommend to start connecting with other investors in your target areas.

My dads portion of our building will be gifted to me in the will FYI.As a real estate agent, I see 5% as a reasonable market appreciation.
