Hi everyone, I am currently a 19 year old sophomore in college and I recently was given the opportunity to invest $200K into real estate if, I can find a method to invest and do the work to make a deal(s) happen with a bit of help along the way.

I already know that a change in zoning can directly impact the value of a property, but I'm looking for more than personal knowledge.BACKGROUND: I have a client involved in a zoning dispute with Planning and Zoning.The property was approved for commercial use 15 years ago, so the owner built some storage units on part of the land.

I've asked a few people and I'm getting mixed answers. 

@Yixiong Pan - If others have the cash to put into deals it sounds like you could form a JV partnership with others where they bring capital and you operate the deal and come up with a split of equity of the purchase.

3) can a 250k exemption from sale of primary residence be claimed in the same year as a 1031 exchange for a rental?

I am a first time home buyer looking to purchase a home/multi-family property.

Hi @Daniel Jodrey,The Portland Metro market still has opportunities, you just have to look a little harder here.

Considering it is listed as a benefit of upgrading to pro account..

I work for a property management company, so I get to see a lot of rookie mistakes from the outside looking in.

I would not have a PM company unless I had probably 50 rentals.
