Hello everyone,My name is TarUWay and i've always wanted to do real estate and now I'm taking real action in order to do so.I just graduated from University and I am looking to get started with a House Hack using FHA financing in the Atlanta Metro area.

It just makes a lot of sense here in Chicago.

Options are to take out a loan for the 25% and just purchase or co-sign a multifamily or just co-sign on a SFH so they can get the 5% down, no loan needed, there wouldn't be any real benefit to me and my husband as we would be assuming the debt but we would be helping our kids out. 

I just bought my first rental property, and it came with a pool that needs some repairs that could be fixed.

Right now, I’m renting a studio on Miami Beach for $1,750 a month, and it hit me—what if I just bought the property I’m renting?

I looked into a cash offer just to free myself but the offer was painfully low (putting me at a $60k loss).

Hi I'm new to the forums and just wondering can anyone recommend any meetups in San Francisco that they can recommend?

As @Alecia Loveless said, that is just your reserves.

@Bryan Melendez you're just one of thousands of investors that:1) Were chasing Class A rentals from 2012-2020, before their values exceeded their pre Great Recession highs and they wouldbnt casflow at purchase anymore.2) That started chasing Class B rentals in 2020-2022 because of #1 above.3) Started chasing Class C rentals in 2022 when Class B rental prices AND higher mortgage rates also got too high to cashflow at purchase.4) Are now chasing Section 8 tenants as the cure-all for Class C tenant performance issues, so their Class C properties ACTUALLY cashflow.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
