The hardest part in anything is always getting the ball rolling, and once that happens and enough experience is gained then it typically turns into a snowball effect and the goals get shifted based on more experience and knowledge.

That helps you understand the returns each can bring and the shifts in the market as well as get used to the numbers.Regarding loan types, the best way for you to learn your options would be to connect with a local investor-friendly lender or two, so you can ask all the questions and they can come up with a few options and strategies for you.And yes!

Maybe even shoot the local PD a call and let them know you are renovating the house and ask if their night shift patrol and drive by every night until you are able to secure it! 

Im in the healthcare and would like to start shifting to something else.

- And of the new parks that ARE being built, why are they shifting towards a "rental only" model?

I'm just not seeing the numbers working in our favor, and if you do come across that below market property with a motivated seller, the right play TODAY seems to be either wholesale it or flip it, not REHAB/HOLD/RENT because the rent/value ratios are ridiculously low, and with a SHIFT COMING, you could easily lose 15-20+% of equity (or more) in the next 2-5 years here in CA.

I do have one other property by a park in California, and while it does well, the market is much more seasonal and I shifted my focus to the Smokies so that I could have more consistent revenue.  

My name is Madison Heck, I'm a 25 year old product manager at a tech company in New York City that is looking to shift into real estate investing on the side initially, but transitioning to full time once I can hopefully replicate my income.I am getting closer to closing on a property in Ithaca, NY (where I went to school) with a business partner of mine in the next month or two.

The agent I used for the single-family was wonderful, but I didn't get the vibe she does much multi-family work.Also open to other east side neighborhoods, including Norwood (the nicer areas, or around Xavier), or possibly shifting all the way into Clifton.Just joined BP, and excited to find so many knowledgable, like-minded people to bounce ideas off of!

I do know that Columbus is shifting their view on ADUs to more leniency due to the housing supply being so low and not forecasted to get better any time soon.
