Equity is your frozen cash that you access as it grows to build your portfolio 

I wasn’t handed a blueprint for success—I had to build my own, piece by piece.Right now, I’m navigating real estate while under pressure and recent setbacks .

Typically, the adjustments I see on appraisals for basements are more flat rate adjustments. 10k is usually the number I've seen.What stinks is that there are a couple of model types that have below grade space where the builder, I'm sure, was trying to lower the taxes by having it below grade so the county wouldn't count that space in the assessment.

Even after one year, that property may provide thousands of dollars worth of appreciation, you will pay down your loan and build some equity, and you can depreciate the asset. 

i found in my build projects that started just before and continued through the pandemic prices rose. everything but lumber became sticky IE they rose but did not fall..

Hi Calvin, if is it listed with anyone, it may have a similar address and a realtor posted your address by mistake,This happened to me a few months ago whereby I own a condo in a community that has 3 building and I own A6, but they were trying to list C6 and only added 6 to the MLS listing lol.

My main goal is to build good fundamental knowledge so any and all help is appreciated!

If saving 20% and building direct is worth it to you I'd recommend it.

We had a plan to build a large real estate portfolio and then sell it in five years and divide the money.
