I don't cut them slack if spending more than $50 - $60.

Hello Bigger Pockets, I’ll cut to the chase and keep it short.

Just knowing duplex cuts down your list quite a bit.

All auctions aren't cut the same so it depends on what type of auction you are talking about.Most online auction (Such as Hubzu) allow enough time for financing. just be sure that you will be able to have full access to the property during the DD period

@Ross SibIt appears that the deal you're currently exploring is starting to cut it close after updating your numbers.To answer your question: It would depend upon the city you're looking to build in, as well as the style & finishes ( San Clemente for instance, requires a Spanish Colonial build-out for all buildings), but I can connect you with a few architects & developers down here during the week if you'd like to explore your options and get an estimated price range.

The legality of wholesaling in real estate is not nearly cut-and-dried.Before digging into the legalities of wholesaling real estate, it is important to understand what wholesaling actually entails.

With $1mm equity, I can theoretically cut four$250k checks and, with 70% LTV, purchase four $900,000 fourplexes.

Hi Lynne,Gunshot alley is no place to raise a family.If you want to move quickly and move up to a nicer lifestyle, there are a lot of LARGE Multi-family apartment complexes in the area.Many will have pools, hot tubs, gyms, dog walking parks, Amazon Delivery boxes, and the freedom from having to cut the grass or maintain the structure, and best of all no property taxes to deal with--all in return for one monthly fee.If this is something you are interested in, go visit a few properties (after dark) and see if they "Feel" safe to you at night.https://www.apartments.com/santa-rosa-ca/Just my 2 cents!  

*I already know you cannot mix your own money with your self directed ira money (hence why i came to this idea), and i know the stipulations about the loan having to have a set return (not a cut of the profit). 

If an investor wants passive ownership, TK investing is not an option.Another major point here is one ( syndication's) investor must be accredited this cuts many investors out.TK on the other hand 25k and decent credit and a desire to own a rental and your in the game.. of course there are pro's and cons as everyone has discussed..
