Looking forward to connecting with you. best strategy I've come up with after 10 years of experience in columbus is to build new construction multifamily with equity. 50k land purchase, 10k soft cost / rezoning / permitting, 300k hard cost, refinance and is worth 500k. build - Rent - refinance - repeat. if you want to buy old properties I would but no agent is going to stay on with you and you only get some diluted version of what they call a contractor who probably isn't licensed.

"Remember when I did XYZ and paid for it myself?"......

I have access to RPR.com to run the numbers, I'm trying to figure out how I can do a CMA for the vacant lots to figure out how much they are worth.

And it's worth noting, many of us pushing Airbnb have a stake in its success.

I think if its not cash flow positive it might not be worth it.

Quote from @Rigel Cagbabanua: @Jalen Scott I might not get approved with a multi family home for now however I’m definitely getting one in the future when my finances are in check Remember in some cases you can use part of the projected rental income on the house you’re buying to offset the housing expense and help you qualify.

Very roughly, if the homes would sell for $1MM each and assuming the land is flat and without significant site development costs, I would say the lots might be worth 200-300k each with the final map recorded.

If you charge enough, it may be worth the hassle.

Saving a few bucks isn't worth the risk.My best advice is start tracking your time every single day.

The important measurements are annual earnings and net worth.
