I just bought a new property and I was wondering if I was going to rent this out, what repairs should I make in terms of the roof and should I add an addition?

With builders offering in-house financing as low as 5.5% for investors/second home owners, and warranties on roofs and HVAC systems, I continue to support new construction as a solid choice for LTR buyers.

Hi! My former boss (retired) has inspired me to get into real estate.  I've made some foundational moves (heloc, llc, etc.)  But podcasts, books, seminars, I feel so lost still.  I'm definitely out of my comfort zone ...

I'd have better chances of survival skipping down central ave Tehran with a Yamika singing fiddler on the roof tunes, in Yiddish, than I would just walking through parts of CA carrying a Trump 2024 flag......

Property management is one of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects of real estate investing.

Happy to discuss the financing aspect of this if you'd like.

We're looking to renovate something before the end of the year to accomplish 2 things: 1) Improve home value so we can get appraisal, refinance and leverage that to buy a new property. 2) Take advantage of the tax credits that are out there in 2024 before the new year or is it better to wait until 2025 and just hold onto the cash I have at hand.Here is a list of renovations that will need to be done eventually:*Brand new basement kitchen (cabinets + add seating area - we already have brand new dishwasher, fridge, gas oven)*New standing shower in the basement bathroom*New Siding*AC/Furnace for unit 1 are close to end of life but still functioning*New Fence/landscaping*New Windows for the basement*New Garage (unstable, concrete shifting, very old)*Solar Panels on the roof (There is a $0 down payment lease option w/ sunrun, but I'm hesitant to move forward)*Renovate master bedroom closet for tenants (it is old & has built in entertainment center that is very dated)*Repair Catch basin*Adding better drainage system for back door.Greatly appreciate any help, insight or advice!

I wanted it for myself but went to a wholesale seminar so I figured I would give it a try because I would like to know all aspects of real estate.

The contracts aspect is major, VERY major, not to mention it can make massive $ differences in a sale.

For example, I am a little concerned about some aspects of the business cycle recovery and a potential for a double-dip so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or low-debt equity).
