Opportunity Zones are all the rage in Silicon Valley because of the massive tax breaks.Do you think Opportunity Zones will benefit residents of low-income communities?

Hi everyone.I'm looking at a fourplex listed at 159,900 as a househack for my first deal.I have limited cash and I need advice regarding how to come up with a sane/safe amount of cash to have left over after the deal is done for incidental things that will inevitably come up.

I have a similar amount of buy and hold properties and I paid $1,000 last year. 

If you plan on holding on to the property for a substantial amount of time, the more immediate valleys may prove to be inconsequential to your long-term strategy.On the other hand, if you plan on holding for a relatively short spell, knowing the direction of the market’s more immediate future would be imperative.Feel free to give me a call when you have a chance.

For multi family properties the typical refinance loan amount will be based on a LTV of 70% to 75% of a new appraisal.  

You might be able to drive some small amount of organic traffic using social media but it's very little and not worth it.

hey Matthew - very good point. my Wife and i have been living in our current home for about 7 years. we have a decent amount of equity. we are looking at a new home as an upgrade and i have been tinkering with the idea of renting our current home out instead of selling it so we can build even more equity.the rental estimate versus what we pay per month would be tight; we wouldn't profit much. this is a concern.secondly, renting the current home eliminates any profit for a down payment for the new home. however, i do realize the direction you are recommending; "park" the "100k" in the new home and keep the current home as a rental property?

You can only collect up front what is the payoff amount. 2.
