I asked for specific examples on this 1% cash flow buying in 2023 or 2024 (not 2020 or 2015).

My goal is to buy my family home (wife and 2 kids) in about a year, but don't want to wait a year to get started on Real Estate investing if I don't have to. 

Would I be able to do a 1031 if I’m buying a primary property with an ADU that I would use as a short term rental?

However, it seems I can buy a shipping container of vinyl plank flooring direct from China at a significant discount.

We are currently starting to do flips to fund our STR acquisitions, are people typically buying properties through wholesale or using a realtor?

It will be VERY interesting to see how these three factors influence existing home sales over the next 3 months:Seasonal slowdown (-)Mortgage rates dropping (+)Buyers potentially paying their own buy-side brokerage commissions (-)Average Number of Offers Received per SaleThe average home sold in July 2024 had 2.7 offers, down slightly from 2.9 in June 2024, and well below 3.0 in July 2023.

Yes, the spring/summer season sees demand ramp up, but that doesn't mean a house listed in December won't sell.If you buy in October/November, chances are you won't be listing until January, anyways.If I had a house completed on, say, December 15th, I would likely sit on it through the holiday season before taking it to market, but I would talk to realtors.

They've got some funky laws when turing a unit or buying a property with deferred maintenance. 4.
