To begin with and develop confidence, start small by beginning with a single rental property or a modest multi-unit property.To choose the ideal property kinds for your investment goals and risk tolerance, do in-depth market research to uncover attractive investment markets and examine local market trends.

I've been fascinated with real estate for nearly a year and made a promise to myself that I would own my first multi-family at the beginning of 2025 and utilize my current time to look for deals and educate myself.

I am thinking about moving out to Sacramento, as I see some duplex’s around 500-700k range.I’m planning on house hacking my first property, which would be a multifamily, and build a portfolio of multi-families within the Sacramento area.

So I have a non-primary house that is valued at $220k on Zillow (just a reference point), what options do I have to finance around 100k out of it to renovate the house?

I too am looking at Detroit as an OOS option and would love to see your neighborhood info.

Hey everyone, I'm a highly seasoned multi-family investor and developer in Canada, with a track record of successfully developing over 800 units.

Get the cost analysis and blue prints done and work it out with the construction loan committee and start the work draw phase.The other options which can be a little easier is buy a home that will pass an Inspection/appraisal and not be "Subject to" but does need a lot of TLC/renovations and do it yourself.

Turnkey, single family, multi-family, etc? 

You do have other options.

For my multi-family properties, we get quality leads from Apartments.com and Zillow.I believe if you have a bigger pockets pro membership you can get lease agreement customized for any state.
