Are you planning to buy in Arlington or open to other cities?   

Hi Everyone, I'm looking to buy an investment property in the Savannah Georgia Area and would love to connect with any investors who are familiar with the area.

Are we talking about buying properties that already have an ADU or buying St.

At some point, I will get my real estate license to get access to the MLS and to qualify for seller financing, but I am also debating whether I should get the license before getting a real estate job or simply before I am ready to start buying my own properties. 

Have you considered buying new construction?   

@Haley ElisabethYou are not missing anything but there is what I would call good debt and bad debt.For example if I buy a property cash, rehab it and it has a $300,000 value and can be used as a rental and provide cash flow - getting a $150k loan on that asset to buy another (not blow it on toys) say $300k asset I have 2x future appreciation than one asset.

So when you notice something like this, how kicking your kids out at 18 and telling them to start from scratch and consume and buy all the same stuff you consumed and bought is keeping your family down, and ain't workin', and immigrants with the mentality of pooling their resources together, sticking together, and making due with less seem to have the right idea...

Here’s the plan I’ve come up with, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on its feasibility, potential risks, and any improvements you might suggest.The Plan1.Pay Off Mortgage: I currently have $170K left on my mortgage, and my goal is to aggressively pay it off in the next 1.5 years.2.Establish Emergency Fund: Before making any big moves, I’ll set aside 6-12 months’ worth of expenses as an emergency fund.3.Extract Equity: Once the mortgage is paid off, I’ll pull out the equity from the property.4.First Flip: Using the extracted equity, I’ll purchase another house, fix it up, and sell it for a profit.5.Reinvest Flip Profits: Instead of buying another property immediately, I’ll use the profits from the flip to renovate the original property, aiming to increase its rental income and appraisal value.6.Reappraise and Extract Equity Again: After renovating, I’ll get the original property reappraised and extract additional equity based on its increased value.7.Purchase Rental Properties: With the additional equity, I’ll start purchasing rental properties that offer positive cash flow and have growth potential.8.Leverage Equity Strategically: I’ll use equity from the original property and any new properties while maintaining a healthy loan-to-value ratio (LTV), ideally around 70-75%.9.Build Rental Portfolio: I’ll focus on acquiring a mix of property types (e.g., single-family homes, multi-family units) to diversify my investments.10.Focus on Cash Flow: I’ll prioritize properties that generate consistent positive cash flow, ensuring that rental income covers all expenses, including mortgage payments, maintenance, and management fees.11.Long-Term Hold: I’ll hold properties long-term to benefit from appreciation and tax advantages.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Murrieta.

Even then should be able to find lower rate IO.I would check with another lender on this one, check into buying down the prepay as well.
