Start your real estate investment journey with Brandon Turner's "The Stack" method, starting with small multifamily properties and gradually moving to larger ones.

@Kiefer Cheney your best "farm area" is your personal network!

David, the amount you will have to spend to locate the property (run adds, put up signs, buy lists and etc) is not comparable to the amount you would have to invest if you wanted to personally buy that property, hire a crew to fix it and absorb the costs of owning that property before you could sell it.

From CSLB:This section defines what an owner-builder is and the laws surrounding the practice.An owner-builder is what the term indicates: a person owns the property and acts as their own general contractor on the job, and either does the work themselves or has employees (or subcontractors) working on the project.The work site must be their principal place of residence that they have occupied for 12 months prior to completion of the work.The homeowner cannot construct and then sell more than two structures during any three-year period.Getting a GC license and going Legit is pretty difficult.

I’m looking for Net and occupancy for 2023.The unit I have a contract on was mostly used for personal use, I’m looking for rental numbers…. and sellers aren’t willing to give these up.

When I am looking to buy properties, I have to walk through personally to not only see the aesthetics but also the systems and layout which are hard to evaluate from pictures.

Hi Mitchell, it's great to hear about your real estate journey and your plans for your next property.Building a strong team is key, and it's smart to recognize the value of experienced professionals like agents and contractors.

When creating my LLC I was not allowed to use a PO Box and had to use my personal home address.

I think I'm a bit of an oddity in that I've been researching personal finance and real estate for years (still nowhere near an expert), but have never taken the step to reach out on forums to like-minded peers.

@Dav Pohote The last property I sold had 1 person make an offer at the list price.
