My duplex units are almost identical.Also, after sold, my understanding is that, I can purchase only non owner occupant property via 1031 exchange, but I can purchase either owner or non owner occupant property via Sec 121 exclusion.

Thanks for sharing your perspective—it’s definitely insightful, and I understand where you’re coming from.While I get that partnering with one exclusive buyer might limit your potential profit on individual deals, couldn’t there be value in the consistency and reliability of working with a cash buyer who provides specific leads/addresses and is always ready to close on those deals?

I also have a specific note that they have to initial that if they lose mailbox keys that it is $400 to replace since it's a huge hassle to deal with the HOA when that happens. 

Purchase price: $240,000 Cash invested: $84,000 Bought the unit as a Short Term rental for the summer season.

Purchase price of 250k.  

I'm wondering if any veteran on BiggerPockets has ever utilized their VA loan to secure any multifamily property ( specifically here in Los Angeles County), i'm familiar with the process but just wondering if anyone has ever done it.

@Allen Zhu @Bradley BuxtonRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Purchase price: $80,000 Cash invested: $72,900 Project complete.

Does anyone still purchase or pay for tax leans in 2024?

What comes next really hinges on where you're at financially - your income and net worth specifically.
