I prefer multifamily because you have more control over future asset valuation.

I started in the land business so I do have a lot of background knowledge at it.I have also been trying to buy a longer term cash flow asset and with rates were they are and cap rates out our way ( at least asking) at 4 to 5 to 6  they still dont make sense. but we are starting to see some 7s so if we can offer and get 8 on a nice project I hope to pull the trigger this year.

Hi Edwin,  Congratulations on your current real estate investments and saving up emergency funds.it's essential to consult with a financial advisor or real estate professional to assess the potential risks and rewards of accessing the HELOC and investing the funds.

I've spoken to a few people who have totally focused their portfolios on Columbus in particular, especially as big parts of the financial services, insurance, and tech industry migrate there. 

And, by that I mean planning for my mother's estate AND my step-father's estate and late-life financial planning, as their finances and estates are pretty separate.She brought it up to me and asked how we should handle it.

Welcome to A Skeptical Dude’s Take on Real Estate: a weekly frank, hopefully insightful, dive into real estate and financial markets.

Setting clear investment criteria, such as the types of properties you're interested in, where you want to invest, your budget, expected returns, and how much risk you're willing to take on, is key.In order to be financially prepared, it's important to save for a down payment, establish an emergency fund, work on boosting your credit score, and look into different financing options.

Does this make the financials work for you/investors?  

This place has great potential to be renovated into a unique, boutique motel.How do I go about forecasting financials and exploring funding? 

Buyers have been presenting cash offers with proof of assets etc.
