Soon enough there will be 30 such units across the portfolio, and the income more than facilitates a partial salary of the office staff.Now, to the question of whether it's worth it.

At the moment I am mainly focused on learning every aspect of real estate investing to facilitate buying my first property by early 2021.I have been following a few folks on Instagram who are into real estate investing and saw someone mention Bigger Pockets podcasts.

Maybe play it safe and hire a broker that can serve as a dual agent for you both - it will insulate you from potential liability while also facilitating a quick and easy sale. 

We're borrowing money for a duplex from our reserves and are looking at a few more properties that will require borrowing money from both private and HELOC sources to facilitate.

@Ben Sears the one that facilitates the most capital for continued investing and scaling up.That could be better leveraging (safely), joint venture partnering, syndications, or other.

You need to first hire some "qualified intermediary" (a company specializing in facilitating 1031 exchanges), and the sales proceeds will be held in escrow by that company.

@Giuseppe Corallo Real estate closings in CT are done by attorneys and they facilitate the title searches as well. 

We simply facilitated everything for him And helped by being boots on the ground for him.

If it is a larger priced property then I will use a title and escrow company to facilitate the closing.

I considered taking the FHA route.Since I have the project managing experience my sights were set on a two bedroom one bath that I could make a three bedroom two bath down the road.Now taking this to a business level vs personal level- that's the basic backbone of the business.I can do the drawings, have experience with the individuals that handle permitting, and the process, and then can directly reach out to subcontractors as the owner of the property to facilitate the rehab and/or addition.My own research has led me to believe that rental rates (I also have personal experience with these) and low vacancy due to over demand should prop up this model effectively.
