This is pushing many to look at areas that still offer strong cash flow backed by solid economic factors.I’m originally from Florida, but experienced the same issue after factoring in all the expenses.

Hey Jonathan,I found contractors through refferals and facebook groups, those contractors were great but they are not experienced in new construction; plus with me being out of state it would be ideal for me to hire a GC, instead of sub hiring ( i dont have time for that being far away),I am switching from rentals and fix and flips due to there's just more profit when doing new construction, and way more deals!

I have experienced some of these very circumstances, and in California.

I need some advice from experienced RE investors.We want to buy a 6 bed/ 5 bath in a great area (top zipcode in the area).Thinking of splitting into 2 units but re-zoning permits are almost impossible in area.Ideas of converting to AirBnb or community center?

In tight inventory markets like Boston, I encourage clients to clearly define their purchasing criteria, start looking, and then be patient.Some of the best deals I have seen or experienced personally happened during unusual circumstances.

It still is very possible to find properties that meet the 1% rule without much difficulty; but it’s also tougher now to find a mortgage for anything valued under $100k – regardless of condition or P&L.To me, the shenanigans Code Enforcement continues to play on a new owner after a sale plus the recent increase on the annual rental registration fee really discourages buying more in the City.

Hello Navnidhi, I have managed it myself with the help of some local people experienced in these types of projects. 

It is a very volatile industry and its experiencing diverging trends.

I attended local meet-ups, joined real estate associations, and even reached out to experienced professionals in my area.

They will also dictate the terms of the loan, how it's filed, qualifications, etc.However, if you mean PML as in your friends/family that have NO experience in real estate and just have money sitting around...then I would certainly to counsel you to lean on some type of mentor or other experienced investor in Houston on what to do.
