There is a lot of walking traffic which is always a concern for me. $700 for a 2/1 in that area is hard to believe but I could be wrong.

My goal is to find a property that rents well and offers decent appreciation.I've narrowed my search to the following Sacramento area neighborhoods: Citrus Heights, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, and Roseville.

🤷If you turn down an offer, will a better offer come along or was that first offer the best offer?

The spacious front and backyard are surrounded by a peaceful forest, offering ultimate privacy.

I've been interested in REI for a year or so, and am only just now finding out about the BP community and all of the resources it has to offer new investors.

We are choosing new build because A) our family 4 has a certain size demand B)  the price-quality ratio doesn't seem to make sense when considering a preexisting home C) with interest rates being at near 8% with preexisting homes, builders are offering 5.99% interest rates and the exact home we are looking at is about $75K discounted because it's a spec home and the builder doesn't want to pay taxes on it.So, live in it for 5-6 years hopefully rent it out with a fully finished basement for potentially $4,200 in 5-6 years.

A great agent will also invest in home, pest, and roof inspections to remove doubt in a buyer's mind prior to making an offer.

After house hacking it and having live-in renters for several years, I really got a taste of what real estate investing can offer.

Many lenders also offer an Interest-Only HELOC, with which you pay interest only — no principal — during the draw period (Usually 10 years).
