Smaller office or shop buildings might bring in more money but need you to know more about running them.

My question is, can I use one of the separate parcels as collateral for a construction loan to build a multifamily on it (of course adhering to zoning regulations)?

Get rid of debt, build a budget, and save.

Definitely a smart idea to do a few fix and flips to build your cash up first!

You will build relationships and some of them will give you sob stories.

Quote from @James Hamling: Quote from @Ryan Daulton:Real Estate appreciates just 4% annually - $43,330.58 "profit"That's the key emphasis there "appreciates".As long as the appreciation is faster than CD rate then that asset is good.But some office building like in 455 Market St San Francisco lost value 80% within 10 years lol.

Note: I left my corporate job over a year ago and building a startup (beyond real estate) so I believe this limits my options re mortgages, yes?  

Land is $1m, build is $1.5m and sales value is $3.5m.

I've shifted my focus from textbooks to spending quality time with my dad, who hasn't been feeling well lately, and I'm aiming to build up some savings through investments.Now, I don't have a car, but I have a friend who works nights and has kindly offered to give me rides anywhere between 3am and 4pm.
