It usually requires a much larger down payment, like 50%.

I'm looking to buy a new construction home in CA for $750,000 as an investment property (around 8% interest rate) with 20% down.

I’ll talk to the wife and check our schedule when I get home. 

I have a feeling this is just the beginning with these unreasonable tenants.Dear Tenants,Thank you for the letter, requesting replacement of carpet and pad throughout the home,that I received on June 20, 2024 (postmarked June 17th).

I'm currently looking at 2 hilltop lots in phoenix to build a dream home. 1 is located at Lookout Mountain and the other on Central & Jomax.

It's easy to see when you drive around, but you can also just filter for homes under 150k on any real estate website and you get an outline of those areas.

@Jesse Dickens This sounds like one of those “programs” where they just apply to different vendors (Home Depot, staples, etc), not actual cash lines of credit….and they charge you a fee for it (maybe 10%) for these trade accounts that obviously you could have gotten yourself.

Foreclosures, short sales, and off-market deals can provide these opportunities.Target up-and-coming neighborhoods with increasing home values rather than already hot areas.Research comparable recent sales and get an inspection to accurately estimate the after-repair value (ARV) before making an offer.Follow the 70% rule - the purchase price plus renovations should not exceed 70% of the ARV to leave room for profits after selling costs.Focus renovations on maximizing returns - kitchens, bathrooms, curb appeal rather than over-improving.Hire experienced contractors and have a project manager oversee work to keep things on schedule.Price the renovated home at or just slightly below comparable recent sales to facilitate a quick sale.

U.S. home prices have increased by more than 47% since 2020, according to a recent analysis by ResiClub of the Case-Shiller National Home Price Index, outpacing the growth of the 1990s and 2010s, which saw prices rise 30.1% and 44.7%, respectively.

Recently, I accidentally got back into it because I own a home and plan on renting it out.
