Own my home in SF with some income from the inlaw - it's a semi-hack.

I live and invest in Columbus and while we don’t have the beautiful scenery the west does, our tenant pool has been growing and our housing has stayed semi-affordable. 

I would like to buy cheap plots of land in good locations, have an architect draw of plans for a triple decker (I am in Mass so anything above a 3 unit would require an elevator), finalize through the approval process, and sell the land and drawings to an developer.

I finally decided to take the plunge and make an account here on Bigger Pockets after hearing many wonderful things about the community and, of course, learning about the forms after reading my first BP book on rental property investing.

I just saw this today... finally an article that discusses small(er) landlords and the affects of tenants that aren't paying rent due to COVID 19 and the moratorium.https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/2...

The final step (this would normally be one of the first steps but not with COVID) is to attend local meets ups.

I'm in appraisal on a duplex in Minneapolis and am finally at the point where I can start discussing renovations instead of just reading forums.

I went through two (2) more lenders before finally getting the deal done.

My name is Jorge and I am finally venturing into the BP forums.

A final note when you do go the LLC route.
