You're doing the right thing by GETTING started and doing it!

More than half of banana imports, America’s most popular fruit by volume, comes in through the ports being struck as of Tuesday morning, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.Other items I have read that are at risk are: cherries, cocoa, sugar, imported wine, beer and hard liquor.In the spirit of the strike impacting more than just materials and labor directly correlated to real estate, I intentionally posted this in "Off Topic" as I want to get a better understanding of what your concerns are with an ongoing strike.

If you are a broker and are on this list how would you feel being treated like a late night informercial kitchen gadget buy one get two free offer?

I need some helps and advices on my next move.I'm thinking to sell my rental property to get $150,000 cash in hand, then look for a Duplex/Triplex in Garland, Grand Prairie, Irving, or Arlington to do a House Hacking method to put only 5% down.

First I want to thank you for reading, I am new to the investment market and the idea is exciting and terrifying at the same time.A few facts:Purchase Price: 325,000Rental Income Estimate: $5250Property details: This is a 3 door property:1. 1/1(main building)2. 3/2(main building)3. 2/1(separate building)Repair estimates to get all 3 properties up and running: $145,000 - $200,000I do not have a ARV since its very unique there is not anything we can compare to but I am looking to get a third party appraisal.Plan is to do a mortgage for the property with cash down payment.

I'd remove them and plant a new one (that doesn't get as big) closer to the road or a few smaller shrubs  (max height 3-4 ft) along the chain link fence. 

Are you looking to get rentals and flips locally? 

Any thoughts on how this could work for the benefit of everyone without anyone thinking I’m trying to “get one over” on them?

If you’re near commuter lines to NYC, you can also get tourist income on Airbnb.

With seller carry backs you can get the seller to take a 2nd mortgage and carry most if not the entire down payment.
