the property value is probably not going to go up but it seems it would always be rentable for at least $700 a month ($900 more likely) ORoption 2. get ANOTHER mortgage with a hard money loan and get a property that would increase in value over time. both methods will require rehab. both we want to buy and hold and rent out.I currently have 3 rental properties in the $150,000 - $250,000 range that all have been increasing in value and should continue to do so.option 1 would give us more diversified investment AND diversified experience. it seems like it would offer better cash flow but is also riskier 

There's both quantitative and qualitative methodical means of determining your individual asset allocation, which should really begin also with identifying your goals, constraints, and objectives.

This is not an issue with 506(c), the possibilities for investors are endless.506(b) only up to 35 non-accredited investors are permitted to invest and no limits on accredited investors. 506(c) only accredited investors that show they understand the investment may invest.506(b) accredited investors typically self-certify while 506(c) issuers rely on various methods to verify accredited status.Like everything else, the investment arena is always evolving.

@Constancia R.

Obviously it depends on the niche and strategy you have in mind, but just for our discussion, let's assume I want to use the "BRRRR" method on SF properties.When I tried to think of the most important parameters for choosing a new market, the things that popped into my head were stuff like:1.

In this method the profit should be calculated only according to the investment of each person, i.e. the person who put 50,000 gets 50% of the profit and the other 2 get 25,000 of the profit.There is a third option that is the combination of the other 2 options that is to make a percentage of the money of the bank as it was equally belonged to each partner and the other part according to the percentage of each one invested.Thank you for reading.Your answer might be really helpful for us.

I'm not sure what the best way to move forward to get the place under full occupancy and everyone comfortable and safe with the methods.

If you start with a simple, proven method (like The Millionaire Real Estate Investor presents) you'll learn along the way, tear down mental strongholds, and you'll be able to iterate and get more "advanced" and clever along the way.TLDR:  there's never a "right" time, only THE time. 

Based on the few analysis Ive done so far, Ive been mostly focusing on COC ROI, initially doing long hand math using 4 square method, but now using the BP calculator, which have all generally yielded pretty poor COC ROI relative to what I hear in these american podcasts.

If I was making this post a few years back, I would certainly be leaning towards the House Hacking method, but I don't think she'd go for living in a duplex/triplex with other tenants, and considering we have two Australian Shepherds.Anyway, this is where my head is at for our first strategy: Buying our first live-in home as a fixer-upper and kinda/sorta implementing the BRRRR strategy.
