Retired Air Force looking to expand my retirement portfolio into real estate. 

I would like if you ever need a licensed GC to do renovations/Tenant Improvement projects I have a group for that.  

Furthermore, it aligns with the growing trend of home improvements that enhance daily living while maximizing investment returns.

Today, I seek out like-minded individuals who share my values, focused on long-term success and making a meaningful impact.What sets me apart is my dedication to creating real-world, tech-driven solutions that improve efficiency while benefiting both investors and the communities we serve.

What I'm aiming for are turnkey rentals and trying to max out the amount of conventional, lower interest loans. again, the DTI income ratio will be IMPROVED if the property shows cash flow.

We added value by furnishing the property, added 2 decks (one for a solo stove, and one for a large hot tub), improved the gravel driveway, mulched the landscape, and added a lot of string lights.

The tax benefits refer to the tax deductions from mortgage interest and property tax.The returns mainly rely on appreciation, and the cash flow only improves in the last few years, also depending on securing the 5% refinance rate.I've learned a lot from this forum, but as I start to operate on my own, I'm still not completely confident.

From experience, I’d recommend getting pre-approved, improving your debt-to-income ratio if needed, and researching local assistance programs.

We have used actuals and projections from air dna to come up with rent.

There will always be room for improvement, might as well keep learning.3) Take ActionMy mentor taught me this very important idea “Say Yes.”
