Show up to court on time, have all of your paperwork ready, be polite and professional, stick to the facts. 

You have to keep the same foundation, but there is no requirement for a home to be "live in" ready to do a 203k loan.

Keep that HELOC in your back pocket for furnishing and make ready expenses on your next STR.

Hello Federico, Congrats on having 300k saved up and ready to invest, that is a huge first step!

I remember back when I was ramping up my own rental portfolio in those early-2000s San Diego days, I learned the hard way that ignoring “little” costs..like that termite treatment or the property manager’s onboarding fee..can turn what looked like a sweet deal into something that barely breaks even.Let’s say you pick up a property in one of those under-the-radar neighborhoods in Omaha or maybe on the south side of Chicago..markets I’ve seen a few colleagues dabbling in lately..you’ve got to be ready to get real about the numbers.

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

I feel like there will be lots of people that are ready to get our of their home offices!

Hello All,Getting ready to launch a new direct mail campaign.

I'm in Atlanta, so the prices have leveled off a bit on land so I'd like to by a parcel and have it paid off by the time I'm ready to build.

you're going to be INvesting for the first few years... rental income from the property isn't going to start paying back what you spend in closing costs, rent ready costs, stabilization costs, down payment, etc. for several years at a minimum.hope this helps - not trying to be negative, just realistic.
