Hi everyone,I am a real estate investor from Israel, new to the Birmingham market.I'm looking to make connections, invest in fix and flip investments, build a good team to learn and if possible help and share my experience.looking forward to meet you all.

And of course collusion to keep bidding amounts down was alive and well. its illegal as hell but done all the time.. there was a group in NC that got tagged by the FBI back in the middle 2000s and it cost them 800k fine dont think they went to jail though..

Whether you're looking for short-term rentals, long-term rentals, or fix-and-flips, Florida has something to offer.Favorable Tax Environment: Florida boasts no state income tax, making it an attractive option for investors looking to maximize their returns.Year-Round Appeal: Unlike seasonal markets, Florida offers consistent rental demand year-round.

The issue we are running into is that lenders are not recognizing the excess amount he earns as income, therefore it looks like he will not be able to afford any loans that he would be approved for.

This has been the experience in Vancouver and Toronto for the last while, where anything and everything just increased in value by crazy amounts. 

If they pay the new amount on time no problem.

For anyone that is looking at developing or purchasing an STR in Packwood, WA I would take a peek at the numbers that are on the rental sites and the amount of bookings. 

They could self manage for several years, using the rental income, until the next phase of their retirement.If they have a decent amount of financial discipline, they may want to get a HELOC now before they build to get the most favorable rate.

Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting. 

The company I use, NREIG, just started writing again in some of the northern parishes, but aren't covering large multi-family and are requiring a minimum dollar amount per ft. sq.
