I’ve been exploring tools like Google Sheet calculators that are coded for accuracy and speed, allowing individuals to focus more on their strategies, acquisitions, and capital raising.So here’s my question to you:How did you master underwriting multifamily deals?

Heloc’s are best utilized with a short term strategy, ie flx and flip, to BRRRR, etc.

I guess the different strategies FOR ME would be.A- Find a lender that would actually do the refi and pay the tax.B- Sell a property and use those funds to lend as they would go back to the IRA. 

As I see it, the only ways that real estate pays you well in the first 3-5 years is low to no leverage or a strategy that requires more work (short term rental, mid term rental, rent by the room, etc.).  

@Steven NguyenThe BRRR method is a solid strategy, but careful planning is key.

Do we have anyone that has personal experience with a 1031 strategy that is sponsored by an UPREIT?

I'm open to suggestion regarding strategy and location and willing to put in more work for better returns, but I certainly need to grasp a better understanding of the process to get started across the border. 

As a beginner investor based in the Seattle metro area, I'm eager to learn from your experiences and share my journey as I get started in this field.My current strategy is to focus on live-and-flip for the first three deals (looking for my second deal) to gain hands-on experience while building equity and learning the ins and outs of renovation and the local market. 

My first suggestion is to get them to write down an investment strategy. 

I’ve seen many buyers successfully execute this strategy over the years, turning such properties into valuable investments.
