I guess I am holding on because I'm thinking of paying off the rest of the mortgage and then I can bet $1000/mo.

I'm a full-time musician and a long-time real estate investor (always done it part time),  I've owned a few student rentals, a duplex, a single family and I've always always rented out my basement wherever I've lived.  

Usually, the general contractor you hire would have done the trash and for a 469 single family, I think an architect is overkill.

And this is across at least 3 or 4 different council districts, so I don't think its a single council person or neighborhood getting serious about construction jobs.I could be wrong, but my sense is code enforcement is viewing things differently than they have in the past.

For purposes of feedback, let's assume the property is: - 4BR/2BA single family residence- 2-car tandem garage- near SF state and public transportation- big back yard/patioThank you for your feedback!

Find experienced local help from a Realtor who has dealt with new single properties in that area.You are talking about a lot of work and expenses building something from the ground up.I would find a partner who has successfully built their own properties before to help you.

I was considering trout river location to buy single family homes. murray hills homes are on the rise and cost over 90k for a descent single family residents. since you in the area what do you suggest I invest my money to build a nice portfolio of rental properties.

Currently, I’m in the process of developing a 3 bedroom single family house with my friend who is a general contractor.

I have seen a case where an investor purchased several substantially identical SFR properties at one time and had a cost segregation study performed on one and then simply leveraged that single study across all of them - maybe that makes sense.

These seem much more appealing to me than single family homes, and much more likely to help me achieve my goal of $20k net monthly cash flow in 2025 (my 40th birthday).I'd love to hear any thoughts, ideas, recommendations, etc. on how you all would get started if you were me.
