My focus is on affordable housing, especially mixed-use projects that serve both residential and community needs.

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Primary house hack.

In addition to STR'ing the main house, he is building 2 more units (ADUs) on the back side of the property.

I found a house that I like to purchase in a great neighborhood and the exterior looks great for a 1922 stick built house.

House hack a 2-4 unit with the lowest down payment loan you could find. 3.5% FHA or 5% conventional.

@Shiloh Lundahl I will do value add specifically with ADU development, so I am tracking permits to find other ADU developments and overall inventory growth to find a competitive edge with supplying demand in areas lacking larger residential developers aka "the middle housing"@Arlem Garcia Interesting, Tariffs will play a big role in supply chains, so it will be interesting to see how governments come to resolutions@Henry Clark Absolutely, imo gone are the days of investing for cashflow or appreciation, now it's about aligning long-term strategies with lifestyle 

Use the two years to learn the area and I would suggest as soon as you can, find a duplex and start a house hack. 

If so, you may be able to wholesale the property to someone (perhaps even someone in one of those $400,000 houses) in such a way that you and your grandmother come out whole.

Ultimately, a do a little bit of everything in the residential space depending on the deal I find, but either flip paper (wholesale), flip houses (remodels) or flip the debt (buy and holds).I am looking to connect with as many of you as I possibly can while adding just as much as value wherever I can! 

Honestly, we just need more affordable housing...
