Hello everyone,I'm currently delving into the various financing options available for real estate investments and would love to hear about the experiences and insights of fellow investors.

If they've been horrible tenants, I would never consider amending the lease-break the lease, have them pay whatever the penalty is and get new tenants. 

Hey @Drew Sygit, I’m literally just turning my SFH into a house hack coliving rental.

Write an insurance contingency into the offer. 

@Brandon Rizzo - Thank you for your insights into the TX market.

I am on the outskirts of Raleigh looking to get more into Foreclosure's for investments and wondering if anyone know where to find the list of Lis Pendens for Wayne, Johnston, Wake and other surround counties.

Inflation, for instance, can raise property prices, but this doesn't necessarily translate into a real increase in value when adjusted for the cost of living.Demand can also drive appreciation, but there are factors that could cause demand to decrease.

One of the main reasons I got into this industry is my passion for helping people and wanting to guide people into a good loan product for them based on their needs. 

You could do that for 3-5% down.. live in it for a year to meet typical requirements for use… then move into a new house, and ‘voila’ - you bought your second (multi-family) rental for 3-5% down instead of 20-25%.It is entirely possible though that you will face debt to income issues on your first rental if your lender wants to see a year or twos worth of rental history before counting your rental income to offset your debt payments…so beware of that.Otherwise you may have to look at creative financing… maybe bringing in a money person where it was a short term investment for them, like “I’ll give you 8% on your money (versus the 4-5,% you could earn from the bank CD) if you will partner with me on this purchase.”

The neighbors protested the interchange emptying into the middle of a subdivision and cause the state to redesign the highway.
