@Eddie MiretskyStarting a real estate investment involves choosing a market, deciding between home states or surrounding states, and choosing between single-family homes (SFH) and multi-unit properties.

Again - you need to consult (and know) your local laws very well if you want to be a successful, scrupulous property owner.

Also, your loan will likely be more advantageous as a residential investment property right now.

Sold 4 small properties to 1031 into this large triplex.

For example, sharing details like an example property address, how much of your own capital you're able to contribute, your goals for the property, and what your exit strategy looks like can all help potential lenders better understand the situation and make informed decisions.

Home prices in Hampton have seen a 12% increase over the last year, and homes are selling close to or even above the asking price.Given these points, it seems that while there is some increase in inventory, the demand is still robust enough to keep the market competitive.

It got me thinking about how major developments like this are impacting property values, demand, and investment opportunities around our area.

We purchased our first LTR property this summer and have a renter since September.

That said, Kensington (north of Lehigh) is another world that I dont touch even though I have a property just south of lehigh in east Kensington (still some zombies) but has stayed rented with great tenants and no vacancy for 5 years.  

A 100k house that is worth 140k wouldn't sell for 100k unless there were repairs so I don't really see a deal here as most 100k markets aren't hockey stick appreciation markets.
