I’ve been designing residences for so long, but I have yet to invest in RE!

Hi, I am new investor and just got my first cash offer accepted for an investment property which I am planning to use for a long term rental.

Hi Madhul,Investing in both LTR (Long-Term Rentals) and STR (Short-Term Rentals) can be a great strategy, especially with substantial capital.

I am also probably not buying anymore in the near term because I can get similar returns from the tech monopolies without the work.

I work full-time as a CPA audit manager at a Big 4 public accounting firm, and in my free time I would love to help and learn from an experienced investor with strategies similar to what I’m interested in (appreciation, single family (potential multi family), mid-term rental (potential short-term)).Open to any advice as well on how to make my first leap into actual investing!

You may need to have survey performed on the property that might be paid for by you or by the seller or it may be common practice in the area for particular pardon you to pay for it.

In the last 6 months i've acquired two more short term rentals in the Poipu Beach area and completed a 1031 exchange.

They also don't factor in how long properties are sitting vacant at that price and also don't factor in how long tenants stay at that price.

If you're looking to invest long term and build a portfolio, I'd recommend going with a 2-4 unit and take advantage of the VA financing.

Need a new roof in a 3-5 years, you probably want to be pretty liquid (year long CD, Money Market, maybe very short term bond fund etc) for those funds.On a condo board 15 years ago, I  was once able to get us into some nice CD's a decade ago that laddered with the useful life of components.
