If I were younger (I’m pushing 50) and my SO was more on board with the whole real estate investing program I would be moving into a new low down payment property every 14-15 months as soon as I had raised the money for a new down payment.

Market supply, while low, remains healthier than other markets in Massachusetts and relatively similar to 2023.

In fact, this got some attention and put us on the front page of the Huntsville Business Journal.We now have a Multifamily fund that focuses on 3-4 similar markets and the goal is to have enough dry powder to pick up good deals quickly, thereby benefiting the investors in the fund. e.g.

Then he came over to me asked if I was the owner and said  "nice house, you looking for a high number or a low one"?

Quick question...I am Ohio and connecting with private lenders to assist me in funding my next deal.If the purchase and transaction is with a real estate agent and you have a private lender for your loan, is that considered a "cash" purchase in terms of the real estate contract and telling the seller, or is that still considered financing?  

The single payment will cover both the original loan amount and the additional cash-out amount.HELOC might be better if you need intermittent access to funds, while a cash-out refinance could be more suitable for a one-time need with a clear purpose.

They barely have enough money for a downpayment, and now they have to come up with additional funds to cover the real estate commissions.Furthermore, it is unlikely to bring home prices down because prices are market-driven and not related to real estate commissions.

This is the price you pay for having the low initial down payment unfortunately. :( 

That property won't sell for another couple of years and I messed up and didn't lock in when rates were low and am now paying triple on the interest only payment.

Buy new from a local Mom and Pop who beat or match Home Depot/Lowes.
