Hi,For those who buy/sell commercial real estate, I had a quick question.

This market has definitely been a highly appreciating market for the past several years, and is a wonderful place to live. 

I was a former trader on Wall Street and now work at a property tech startup.

Purchase price: $360,000 Cash invested: $18,000 A partner brought this deal to me.

I’m thrilled to join this vibrant group as a first-time homebuyer currently under contract on my first home! 

I look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals, learning from your experiences, and sharing my journey in real estate investing.

I want to buy it as a long term play.

I live in Naperville, Illinois and looking to invest in Brrrr propertied within a 25 radius to include towns of Bolingbrook, Lombard, Wheaton, Villa Park, Elmhurst, North Aurora, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Downers grove, Westmont, Schaumburg & Carol Stream areas.I am in the process of building a team of real estate agents,  licensed rehabbers, real estate attorneys, property sourcing channel providers etc.I look forward to members to assist me on my journey.Thank youSuhael Ahmed

In 2021, we built a home in Lake County, FL for $180K, that same home today costs $250K to build.Why are home prices so high?

We have a PMI of $250 a month and I’d love to get rid of it.I contacted the bank for a request for PMI to be lifted and they denied it.They said I could order an assessment of the house through them and then if house / condo come up with enough gained equity then it might be possible .Does anyone know the best first initial steps to order a home assessment ?
