If the STR is a strong investment, by all means purchase it, but there's no such thing as balancing a portfolio.

Goal is to reduce your biggest expense (housing) with income coming from the ADU to save money for your next RE purchase.

We are just… at our wits end currently …. and just want to be done with this stage in our lives, yet we are running blind here… Ryan I would strongly encourage you to use a realtor, I have purchased quite a few properties and own a property investment company, you will definitely make more selling through a realtor…even after paying commission.

If a buyer is offered a 2-1 buydown (starting at 5.25%, increasing to 6.25% and then to 7.25%) with all closing costs covered except for $3,000 (to be paid by the buyer) on new construction through the seller's preferred lender, and signs the purchase contract in April 2024, the house will be completed by the end of September 2024.

We purchased our first 2-unit property about 6 months ago. 

Good morning fellow Pro Members,Current Real Estate Investor Newbie...working on purchasing my first HouseHack in DFW.

👋🏽What exactly are you looking to purchase?

I have a tenant who has lived in our 4 plex for almost 15 years, long before my husband and I purchased it 6 years ago.

Objection - leading!

For my purposes, I am not trying to purchase all the properties.
