Pest control should ALWAYS be the landlord because you want to prevent pests.

(Launch Control/Smarter Contact), do you text DNC's?

Buy and hold is interesting if you can navigate the rent control laws.

You can control a lot of aspects of the loan including LTV, length, type, and where to deploy the funds (BRRRR, flip, new construction).

Typically: Pros: - Fully passive- Equity growth (hopefully) - Smooth process Cons: - No control- When they liquidate, you liquidate and need to 1031 again (usually they have other funds set up, however) - Make sure debt is rolled over correctly Hope this is helpful!

There’s a learning curve in getting started but once you are in control of your own self once you turn 18 you will be free to buy a house hack and get started.

Government is nailing property managers to the wall in a bold move to control financial crimes.BOI is yet another Federal program, “Beneficial Ownership Information.”The BOI program, a key tool in the fight against financial crimes, requires every business to document it’s 'Beneficial Owners.’

If you don't like the idea of giving up control, being an active investor might be better for you. 

This depends on your agreement and whether you are hypothecating the note (meaning you own the note and are borrowing against it) or doing a partial where you are selling that portion of the note and issue a collateral assignment.When i did partials I did it as a hypothecation where I kept control of the note because those who typically buy a partial are not savvy note investors and if it went into default the first call they would make would be to you.I know some who let the buyer own it and they would be calling the servicer every week asking about payment or emailing the etc. then if it did not show up they would be calling them.How you structure it is up to you, just realize there are pros and cons for both

We're looking to renovate something before the end of the year to accomplish 2 things: 1) Improve home value so we can get appraisal, refinance and leverage that to buy a new property. 2) Take advantage of the tax credits that are out there in 2024 before the new year or is it better to wait until 2025 and just hold onto the cash I have at hand.Here is a list of renovations that will need to be done eventually:*Brand new basement kitchen (cabinets + add seating area - we already have brand new dishwasher, fridge, gas oven)*New standing shower in the basement bathroom*New Siding*AC/Furnace for unit 1 are close to end of life but still functioning*New Fence/landscaping*New Windows for the basement*New Garage (unstable, concrete shifting, very old)*Solar Panels on the roof (There is a $0 down payment lease option w/ sunrun, but I'm hesitant to move forward)*Renovate master bedroom closet for tenants (it is old & has built in entertainment center that is very dated)*Repair Catch basin*Adding better drainage system for back door.Greatly appreciate any help, insight or advice!
