I don't have a preference for age in terms working with other folks but young can be good from an energy, optimism and having enough time to put in the extra hours when needed (usually a younger person is not going to have a spouse, 2-3 kids and a bunch of other responsibilities).

FX, Crypto, Flipping Houses, Sub2, Gold and Silver, Rare Earth Metals, Day Trading, Bernie Madoff, Vending Machines, Car Washes, Amway, any MLM.....whatever the dream of the day is.In all of them, you can make money, you can get rich, but almost always it takes a lot of hard work, blood, sweat, tears, missed holidays, working on weekends, money, risk, stress.

But if you believe rates will go down, it’s a good time to find deals and refinance later at a lower rate.As for me personally, I’m also reevaluating the market to figure out the best investment strategy.

I also thought about buying two houses in the same deal, but my long term broker (the 30% broker) who said they can not do that. 

You’ll want to have your numbers in order—this means understanding how much the property could sell for, what repairs might be needed, and what kind of offer makes sense for you.When you do contact the homeowner, be upfront and personable.

Personally, I would look to buy that kind of property and house hack it - meaning you live in one unit and rent the other 3-4 units out.

This means that you will probably need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property as a CA resident.Any lawsuits should be limited to the assets of the LLC and not your personal assets (assuming you run the LLC appropriately and the corporate veil is not pierced, some debate as to SMLLC).

Lessons learned: 1) Do a more thorough tour of house before purchasing 2) Have more money saved Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

That's why I'm looking at Baselane now (which is free), and possibley Quicken for Biz & Personal (which is $6/mo).

The main key to our success is proximity to several very large housing developments.
