have a rental (multi family 2-4 units) needing major rehab. interested in learning what work can be learned/performed easily and what needs to be hired out to a contractor. recommendations for learning resources for DIY rehab (good youtube channels, etc) would greatly appreciated!

I agree that 1-4 unit properties are a different ballgame, but within my portfolio, I have a 4-unit property insured for $715K—the same amount as one of my single-family rentals.

Landscaping/Snow Removal – ~$50-$200/month if not tenant responsibility.Example Calculation (Single-Family Rental in Chicago)Assume a $300,000 home with 20% down, renting for $2,500/month.

Hi everyone,I’m currently evaluating a multi-family property in St.

Note that RedFin shows Y/Y January 2025 price declines of 9.71% for all housing but increases of 2.8% in single-family homes.

One of my clients just completed a clean BRRRR with a 3/2 single family house - $185k purchase price, $25k rehab, and $264k ARV.

Hi Dave in Northern, NJ-I am sorry to hear you have a single family rental facing foreclosure.You have it in an LLC and wonder what your options may be to delay foreclosure.Lenders do not want to take properties back and have a nonperforming loan.The best time to work with your lender is as soon as possible but certainly before the sheriff's sale.After the sheriff's sale, there is a redemption period where you can still sell it and the length of time varies from state to state and may depend on if it is vacant (avoid that for a variety of reasons), if tenants have a lease and have rights, or if someone is occupying the property.Working with the lender may not be easy but do not give up.Also, reach out to investors, who buy properties in foreclosure or pre-foreclosure, and see if they would be interested in curing the default and buying the property.To Your Success!

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

If the store sales are strong in an area with strong population growth and with competition from Family Dollar or Dollar Tree and the store is old with less than 9100 Sq Feet, chances are very high for Dollar General to move into a newer store.

As much as I love this strategy, I'd be re-deploying all of the proceeds in to long term buy and hold investments and start building a tax free nest egg for my family for generations to come.
