Combine rent control with restrictive zoning, or a nightmare permitting process to build, and you've got the recipe for an incredibly easy path to becoming a multimillionaire.

I know probably several hundred co-brokes and I have worked with many as an investor before I got licensed and started a team.A combination of several reasons: Real estate agents are in an industry that is easy entry and it rewards networking much more than actual skills (let that one sink in), because consumers don't know how to vet agents and it becomes mostly about trust - so you work with your friend's cousin, because he said she's great.

I understand that even modern multi-families may have main disconnects that are fused.  

@Michael J Shetler It was a combination but mainly the build cost. 

Just wondering if you can somehow combine this strategy with the BRRR strategy

I own 2 of the units for STR that I kept empty last service period just to get a gauge on things and the 4 other units still managed to use a combined 43,000 gallons which makes a $860 bill total that is split between Louisville Water@$321 and Sewer@$539.

But if you need more cash in hand now and can handle the higher fees and reduced cash flow, option 1 could make sense.As for shopping around, it might be worth getting a few more quotes, especially if you think you can find something that combines the best of both worlds—a decent LTV and lower fees.Hope this helps!

We then try to combine them all together or add it in if we’re handling something more serious.

(If your project is primarily housing or incorporates housing specific funding sources, you will need to apply through the Department of Housing rather than through this program.)The funding sources that a project can receive include the Chicago Recovery Plan (CRP), Housing and Economic Development Bond (HED), Neighborhood Opportunity Fund (NOF), and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) which have all been combined into a single, streamlined grant program with unified rules and regulations.

With a full-time job, it might be hard to meet those requirements, so your real estate losses could be considered passive.Now, on the AGI front—if you and your husband’s combined AGI is over $150k, unfortunately, you won’t qualify for the $25,000 special allowance that lets you offset passive losses against your other income (like your W-2 income).
