From around 2010-2020 I built and managed a small-medium-sized portfolio in my area (which is not an ideal market).

Not ideal, but was in another country and work is crazy.Aiming to have solid capital set aside to invest in a first time loan by early next year. 

But with the rising costs, breaking even seems less ideal, and I’m questioning if it's the best strategy in this market.Current Consideration: After digging into the numbers, I’m seriously considering going the STR route instead.

Ideally it's a long term hold for 10+ years.

Ideally, they should have asked more questions and really listened to what you’re looking for in future tax services before trying to close the deal.That said, you’ve flagged something important—maybe they’re not the right fit for you.

I’m about to relocate to Ocean County, NJ, specifically around the Howell/Brick area, due to my fiancé’s one-year medical residency.I’m interested in investing in a single-family home or duplex that I could live in for about one to three years, ideally within a 15-mile radius of Jersey Shore and Newark Beth Israel hospitals.

Despite its modest price, the property was ideal for a quick turnaround.

Other empty drugstores are becoming plasma collection centers, thrift stores, and car washes.While repurposing drugstores can be challenging, especially when dealing with building design and community concerns, their prime locations make them ideal for creative reuse.

This isn't ideal if you have kids and a family.

I have someone who I want to pitch to be a private investor and fund a flip from start to finish.Wondering if anyone has experience doing this and would like to offer some advice.Also looking for any recommendations as far as how to ideally structure the funding for the deal.Thank you
