We wanted a new primary residence, and wanted to find something we could have a rental on the same property to supplement our mortgage payment.

Hi there,I am fairly new to the business of investing in real estate and live in Germany. 

Does anyone know of a bank or an investor-friendly lender who will approve a loan with commute to New York? 

Underwrite your deal with new debt to see if it can handle a refinance/an increased debt loan.

We have experience with 2 family stick built but log home improvements are new to us. 

There might be some new construction you can get good interest rate buy downs. 

new plumbing, electrical, ceiling, walls, porch, patio etc.

I'm new to real estate investing .Outside of real estate, I enjoy the beach, gym, fishing and boating.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

The city put my building permit on hold until I hire a new GC.

Take this 💥just-closed renovated property for example💥:With my query of "22757 Charlemont Pl, Woodland Hills, CA 91364 5/4/2400-3050,0.6,300" we get an ARV Estimate that is ~4% off, and I picked this at random just scrolling through recently closed in my areaAnd the Market Stats $/sf of renovated property in that Zip Code matches up pretty well, so I know the ARV estimate is realistic:You can also run Agent Stats to find/get in touch with the real top-agents in that area so you can triple-verify everything and/or list it with them when you are done.With the above, I am able to quickly vet every new deal that comes my way and spend more time on the good ones.
