I don't know if I can sell my wife on moving into a fixer up but I assume the idea there is to repeat the process with the new house.

Although I saved 20-30k by doing everything myself and learned a ton in the process, doing that sucked up all my time and potentially stopped me from buying multiple multis last year.

I’d aim for low downpayment land contracts and lease options.After refinancing out of the FHA mortgage, I’d evaluate if I wanted to repeat the 2-4 unit FHA 203(k) process again or if I had the 20% down to target 5+ units.Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

Can someone walk me through the thought process I should be using when constructing the offer?

Offering a streamlined process, no repairs or renovations prior to selling, no market costs or agents fees for my family member, in return I will gain invaluable experience in the market and in the field along with providing my family with wholesale services.

One housing authority wouldn’t even entertain the request, while another was open to it because it was an affordable housing property, requiring just an application for the exemption.From my experience, dealing with government agencies, especially when trying to save money or get financial benefits, can be a slow process.

I know this is above and beyond what most municipalities require, but being fair will make the whole process easier.Additionally, a new landlord can reduce the 60-90-day notice by offering more moving assistance (cash and/or labor) if they move sooner rather than later.

I have renovated my own home (which I now rent out), and I've begun the process of building my DREAM community - a pocket neighborhood in the foothills of Colorado.

It’s an interesting approach, but ensuring a strong screening process and a legally solid agreement is key.

Should we wait until we move to the states or start the process now?
