I told them that it was a better idea that, instead of buying a home first, we can buy an investment property and keep renting after we build some equity, sell it and put the down payment for 2 houses or a duplex and live in one and rent the other one (for me, i could keep renting until we buy a lot of investment properties and then move to one of them), but my family wants to buy a home firts and then the investment property.Can someone give me a light of what is better or the pros and cons.Thank you so much.

This could be a great idea.

Not guaranteed, but very safe and boring national level companies that will not go out of business anytime soon.

Does anyone have any ideas around this?

I have already started a rental LLC with a partner in another state, but we are still new to this business. 

Good morningI am a Female Real Estate Investor and Developer.Is this a Forum where I and other Women Investors like myself can share ideas/projects or network amongst each other so we can support each other...

@Rick Albert That is a great idea, the problem I am having in CA is that the lenders I’ve spoken with have told me I don’t qualify for a necessary loan amount based on my income, even if I were to do a house hack.

To which I turn to the most trusted community in RE.Myself and two of my business partners are looking to start our journey in Real Estate development and am looking for some advice, we have experience in owning and managing rentals so none of that is new to us...just building the thing is.We are looking to start developing duplex homes across the Chicagoland Suburbs but cannot find the right person to talk to that can give us a clear idea of where to start.

I don’t worry much about sloping floors, most homes that age have those issues but you need to make sure it’s structurally sound and if not then you need to have a good idea on the cost to cure.

Hello,I am a young investor looking to get knowledge on how to utilize seller financing to obtaining 2nd rental property.I bought 1 single family home in Tilbury, Ontario in 2021 and it is not cashflowing AND not able to sell right now as locked in mortgage until 2027.I do have some cash, but not enough for a 2nd property, and I seen plenty of off market seller financing - but I just don't understand the whole seller financing business to obtain.
