What will affect the cost of older real estate more today is the price and availability of insurance.

@Bethany PeysenTo expand your real estate portfolio, stay connected with agents and lenders, conduct thorough inspections, and prepare for longer closing times.

It wasn't always smooth sailing – I've learned a lot from my mistakes and am happy to share those learnings to help others avoid them.Feel free to ask me anything about structuring subcontractor relationships, ordering materials, or keeping budgets on track.

Not just a real estate investment, but an investment into my marriage.

I'm a newbie to real estate investing, so little words are very much appreciated :)Big picture if it helps: I'm exploring an all in one so I can plop extra savings into it until I'm ready to purchase additional properties and then can pull the money from the all in one for a downpayment elsewhere and then will continue to throw money into the all in one from my main job as I save for additional downpayments.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
