Hi @Suresh Ram I do most of my business in central- North Jersey.  1. connect with someone who specializes in multi family investing. 

Quote from @Michael Simmonds: Hello BP Family,I am in need of a reputable builder/GC in Cape Coral who is willing to take on a partially finished new construction home. 

@Justin Jefferson first, some cold realty - you're about as likely to play in the NFL as you are to retire via real estate in 4 years.Are they both possible?

If you are patient, you will find properties that work.But in the end, there is no right or wrong way to invest in real estate.

What factors should I prioritize when choosing the best approach for my future success in real estate? 

Keep your current tenant in place.

Someone I know bought a ranch to use as a short term rental property in 2021 for $1.7 million.Engineers did a virtual site visit, they were able to assign a value of $347,000 to either 5-7-15 year assets that were eligible for depreciation.In 2021, the bonus depreciation amount that you could take was 100%.This means that the owner could immediately deduct the full amount of eligible property in the year it was placed in service, rather than depreciating it over time.With that in mind, he took the full $347K deduction in his FIRST YEAR of ownership to offset taxable income from rentals.This was roughly ~20% of his purchase price.It was a big win for him.In 2024, the bonus depreciation rate is 60% so the calculation would be different.That said, you can still save and defer a ton.

Can't do any of the things they promise in the pre approval. 

Do you have a personal home you can sell? 

I personally wouldnt work with a discount broker on the list side as there is a decent amount of money that goes into presenting a good listing.
