The property is very close to 2 hospitals: Seton & Kaiser.

Hello,I am in the process of closing on my first property, a triplex I plan on owner occupying for 1 year.

, what made you feel secure taking the leap with hard money and going after that first flip.Partnering with an investor or doing seller financing would be ideal, but I'm still growing my network by cold calling other investors and real estate agents and attending local events.

As an investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, if you have any questions or want to connect, definitely reach out!

Could you share more information, such as , did you buy it close to where you live, what softwares are you using to automate, are you self managing or have a PM in place for maintenance and bookings and also communicating with guests?

Las Terrenas in the Samana peninsula is a good choice but I have a small thing for Bayahibe, close to la Romana.You can find property that are half the price of Punta Cana's and that you can rent around 80% of the year.

With an FHA loan, you are not going to be bringing hardly any capital to closing (compared to a conventional 4-fam purchase with 25% down).   

I could technically get $332K out, so this leaves a little meat on the bone to cover closing costs, potential unexpected rehab issues, etc.

In the 3.7 feet wall in the square nook is a window that goes pretty close to the floor and an air vent so I can't put anything there.

They charge 1% in the form of a closing cost to the buyer.
