I Joined Jeromes Buying land and building homes program back in 2019Heres my opinion on my experience....First and foremost He offers two different programs. a 6 month program and a 12 month program.BOTH PROGRAMS ARE EXACTLY IDENTICAL THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS:You can choose to have the weekly mentoring by Jerome once a week for 6 months or 12 months on a zoom call and you can have access to a private networking group of real estate professionals whether that be (realtors, contractors, brokers, Private/Hard money lenders, loaning institutions, Surveyors, Engineers, Zoning Board members in different municipalities, pretty much anyone you would need to get a project completed) for either 6 months or 12 months.6 month program will run you $5,997 if you decide to pay all at onceor you can make a $2,300 payment every 2 months totaling $6,90012 month program will run you $9,997 if you decide to pay all at onceor you can make a $3,000 payment every 3 months totaling $12,000I decided to join the one year program and chose the payment option as i figured within 6-8 months i would have my 1st project completed therefor my last two payments would essentially be covered by the return on investment from that project.PROS:The group is really a family oriented space where you meet a vast variety of people from all types of background throughout the country and other countries that are doing business just like you.

You'll have far less competition as you move into the 5+ unit space where the different financing and higher prices weed out many of the first time investors feeding on $400k fourplexes. 

.- As your portfolio grows, reinvest profits into larger multifamily, co-living spaces, or boutique hotels for traveling professionals.Final Thought: Real Estate Is About Ownership, But Business Is About ScaleIf you want to quit your corporate job and transition into real estate full-time, owning a few rental properties isn’t enough.

The house was on a crawl space, which will become important later. 

The small multi family space (4-20 units) seems to be less crowded, but those deals can be hard to manage unless they’re within a couple of hours from where you live so you could manage or turn it yourself if you had to. 

Quote from @Mark Munson: Quote from @Dave Harlan: Wondering if anyone has used Kiavi as a lender?

You can refi into a DSCR at the 1-year mark, buy another - rinse and repeat.That's a good idea for the House Hack, but I can tell you FHA offers are very difficult to get accepted right now, at least in Toledo.

Delegating up front will help you open up brain space to expand and think about how to add to your portfolio, rather than running your portfolio.2.

This means a 3/2 and a 1/1 instead of a 2/1 and a 2/1 since you can live in a smaller space to make more money.

There is not space for new buildings.
