Bonjour community,    I'm a newbie in the investor world. I'm looking to connect with others and learn from this amazing environment. a little about me I"VE been actively pursuing my dreams as an investor for about 2 ...

Just trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to build a new place with a in-law apt in the basement vs buying something already built.

Consider a new betting game for real estate investors.

Please be gentle; I'm new at this and it's pretty complex :)Structure / Legal Details- we'd establish market value through a combination of comps from local real estate agent and an appraisal- attorney would establish all required "arms length" aspects including a mortgage at a minimum standard federal rate- LLC would pay us back based on a standard promissory note over 30 yrs Pros of selling to the LLC (I think)- A sale now would be the only time we'd be able to take advantage of the cap gains exclusion on this house bc we won't qualify for the "live there 3 of 5 years" rule due to the timing of our lease and our last time of residence. 

This new one on the left really makes the forum discussion area small...The forum area used to take up about 90% of the screen, now it's about 50%.

Lately, I’ve been encountering some challenges with municipalities imposing new rules and restrictions that impact my properties and operations.I’m interested in learning how others have successfully addressed these issues.

Pé: Quote from @Braden Smith: I am located in New Orleans.

(New Tesla in Oregon is the same price as a Suburu wagon- with the tax discounts) Would love to hear your experience!

Another thing i heard is the houses are older so once they move out, I'd have to spend 10-15k to rent to new tenants and all the cashflow I've made before goes away.

I have approx $500k+ to play with and looking at San Diego, LA, Scottsdale, and New York.
