Maybe I even pick a 4/2 floor plan to eke out some more rent. 

Securing funding has been challenging, particularly because my business documents reflect low revenue from only one duplex, and I am currently between jobs.I have identified a reasonably priced piece of land and have saved a small portion of the funds from my duplex sale to invest in this venture.

.✅ Luxury Market Considerations: Some lenders may be more conservative with high-end properties, so having strong comps, a clear exit strategy, and a solid renovation plan will be important.✅ Interest Rates & Terms: Expect slightly higher rates than standard fix-and-flip loans, often in the 9-12% range with 12-18 month terms, depending on your experience and lender.

Hi Everyone,I am a new investor planning to start investing.

I think we are competitively priced, so most of out tenants have been renewing, but we plan to test higher rents in 2025  for our larger apartment buildings to account for the steep increase in insurance prices.There have been A LOT of new apartment buildings put up recently in the Cedar Rapids metro area, so depending on the class of tenant you have, maybe that could account for some of softening you are seeing?

Look for off-market deals, seller financing opportunities, or even house hacking a small multi-family with an FHA loan (3.5% down) if you plan to live in one unit.For creative financing, explore seller financing, subject-to deals, and lease options.
