I purchase my 1st multi family in Durham last sept, I was debating between str and long term, I went with str and I am loving it so far. my dec occupancy is Unit one 2b1b: 82%unit 2 studio: 79% So far so good and already thinking of getting another one in 2025 🤤 These are great numbers for this time of year!

Note - if you live in your property for 2 years out of the last 5, then you don’t pay taxes on the profit. 

I was a Navy submariner for 21 years and really focused the last 6 years on growing our portfolio.

The Austin metro was among the hottest destinations in the country for where people were moving last year, according to the latest annual ranking from U-Haul International Inc.Austin ranked No. 5 among the top U.S. growth metros in 2024, and Texas was the No. 2 state for move-ins — bested from the top spot after three consecutive years by South Carolina, according to data released Jan. 2 and Jan. 3.The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area took the crown for the top growth metro in the recent list, followed by Charlotte, North Carolina (No. 2); Phoenix (No. 3); and, Lakeland, Florida (No. 4).

So, even a small negative like a $50 unpaid cell phone bill that goes to collections when you switch carriers tanks their score.

Quote from @Francisco Milan: Hello GuysI want to get into listings, been doing buyers for the last 7+ years and I think it is time to get into listings but I how can I start building my listings pipeline? 

I have a program nationwide that does NOT require GC to sign anything, only provide proof of 3 C/O's (certificate of occupancy) over the last year I.e. built received occupancy permission now unit is on market or habitable.  700+ FICO I can get you 80%LTC loan to cost on the project on ground up construction for 1-4 units. 

As such, about 2-3 million policies have been canceled by the carriers over the last 4 years.

I just listed my last property for sale, a fourplex in Pocatello, because now I focus more on commercial RE and syndications to be a true passive investor and not deal with tenants and repairs.
