Starting one from the ground up, or buy an existing property that is for sale?

Any community bank can give you guidance on expenses.You buy on Proforma, you borrow on actuals. 

I would also point out that the idea of Cash flow is very subjective, if you buy something in cash, yes it will cash flow, but it will be a very low ROI.

You can’t sell and buy a primary home, it has to be a rental. 

Especially if the condo can be a STR, an ocean view makes it more valuable...not to be a "butt head", but people can buy/rent and look at a parking lot anywhere for much less.If you think you've got a good agent, take their advice. 

Hello, I am looking to buy my first property (most likely an investment fourplex), but just left my job to start a grad program.

Hi,I wanted to ask if there is a lock box (to put keys inside) that I can buy that doesn't require WIFI at the lock box location.

Hi everyone,I'm an OOS investor in the SF Bay Area looking at purchasing a SFR in the Huntsville AL area but trying to hone in on the specific neighborhoods that might make sense. My primary goal is long term apprecia...

I do have a Commercial Fix and Flip Program that will provide cash for the acquisition and to Rehab the property.Once it's stabilize we can secure Permanent Financing and take out the bridge loan.Multifamily has, by far, the most interest in CRE Financing world, if it's a good enough deal we can get you the financing but I refuse to make bogus promises about what is and is not possible.If you DO NOT have the cash to put down on the property there a few creative financing avenues which may be possible if you have a motivated seller that is willing to work with you on terms.The 68% occupied property would be most fit for creative financing because there is clearly something going on there with the current owner.You can look at a master lease with an option to buy or doing a wrap combined with a seller second... the only thing is that the seller is highly unlikely to accept those scenarios.Now... there is one "highly unlikely to happen" scenario where you could technically get 100% financing but, again, the seller would have to be out of his mind to say yes.It entails a Hard Money FIRST MORTGAGE of less than 50% of the "Quick Sale" value as determine by a BPO... this would serve as your down payment.

@Dalton Tahy I have a friend that lives in Boston and he has no plans buy RE because it's so expensive.
