Legislation changes over 20 years and that affects your relationship with traditional lenders.

Hello,A job relocation to San Francisco CA early this year is making me ponder if I should be selling my owner occupied duplex in Jersey City and buy something in Berkeley CA due to its proximity to San Francisco and has some fairly decent schools  for my kids and also UC Berkeley .The low  2.5% interest rate on the Jersey City property turned into a golden chain but I think I am done with managing tenants and property and would like to get more into an Equity play.

Hi Elia,With your experience and drive, scaling your portfolio is within reach.

I live in Brampton ON and am relatively new to Real-Estate but willing to work hard, so looking to connect with Greater Toronto Area (GTA) specific meet-up groups and learning material to take my passion in real-estate further.

And I HATED doing books with passion!

I’m in the process of searching for land in the Houston area to then build a 4-plex on it.The plan is to self-fund the purchase & construction, rent the units and cash out with a mortage.I like the idea of serving lower income families and therefore don’t shy away from section 8.This is the first time I do something like this, so I’m throwing it out there in hopes of hearing your thoughts and learning from your experience!

Do you mainly rely on driving for dollars, online platforms, or networking with other investors? 

Has anyone found success in turning your primary residence into a rental, buying a new primary with 3-5% down and repeating each year?

I grew up with a realtor for a mother, but she’s not too well informed on new construction.

I know the typical value add on a SFH is to fix up kitchens and bathrooms, and forced appreciation with ADU’s or new bathrooms and bedrooms, but how can you do this in a MFH?
