I have had office space in Astoria for 5 out of my 7 years in the business and it remains my favorite place to work.Newer developments present a wide range of opportunities, including:Affordable housing rental unitsNew high-rise condominium buildings Small boutique condo developmentsMixed-use buildings2-4 family new-construction residential propertiesFilm studiosAstoria’s high cost of living is akin to other neighborhoods in the ‘outer boroughs’ with Manhattan views or proximity to the island.

I currently live in and operate 1 STR in the area and as a real estate agent I've helped people buy lots of STR properties from Perdido Key to Panama City Beach.1) The STR market here is congested and there is a lot of competition. 

Hi all - I am looking to expand my portfolio in LV and was wondering what people were buying in how the market is today.

You can use a 1031 exchange to buy an investment property and later convert it into your primary residence, but there are a few rules to follow.Hold as Investment: Typically, you should rent it out for 1-2 years before moving in.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Looking for thoughts/experiences on buy and hold (5-10 years) land banking starting 2024 in the path of solar development - Kern County, CA. 

You likely have codes and code enforcement officers that will start issuing fines for the trash and unkempt yard.Keep filing complaints with the owner and city until it's resolved.

You can save money by buying smart, but don't buy cheap/lower quality because you get what you pay for and it may cost you down the road.

@Conrado BalicustoMy thoughts for you…Long term holds are much less labor intensive than short term rentals.Cheaper C class rentals will let your investment funds to go further than buying A class properties.  

is it needed if I am buying my first rental property?
