We are excited to embark on this new journey.As newbies in the industry, we are eager to learn and grow through hands-on experience and expert guidance.

We are helping one of our sons get into thier first home in Orange City, Iowa.

(I bought it 3 years ago)I'm trying to see how long in the future I will need to do another gut renovation, so I can start saving up some money toward it.Things are in pretty good shape.

Purchase price: $460,000 Cash invested: $50,000 My wife and I purchased a duplex in November 2022, lived in it for a year, and now rent it out using a long-term hold strategy.

From an initial impression, this makes the process of long-term investing much more convenient, and the only fee (apart from regular agent/lender commissions) is the property management fee!

However, with a 5% down conventional loan, there isn't a strict limit on the number of properties you can acquire, as long as you meet the lender's criteria.One strategy I've seen work well is using the FHA loan to buy your first multi-unit property, live in one unit, and rent out the others.

I do usually charge more for MTM than year long leases but it’s probably only $100 or $200/mo more.

as a capital partner funder lender we are doing deals every week.. not sure who your talking to. but we only do it in our lane.. so every capital partner has their lane.. 

We are seeing great rates, Low 4% on the New Construction Quads that some of our builders are completing.  

We are looking at a 30-year fixed for a Single Family STR , but we are open to suggestions re: ARMs, Interest Only, etc.
