Currently Im in the process of renovating an ADU above my garage to become my first STR, its a slow process but am looking for some expert contracting help that won't break the bank!  

I appreciate the help

During the recent period of low interest rates I acquired some rentals with a 15% down payment in order to stretch my cash further toward down payments on additional properties.This helped with the down payments and my math showed that even with a little higher interest rate compared with 20% down and the PMI until I was able to remove that this would still be the wiser choice.

Hey guys, Looking for input on a retail deal I'm helping a friend with.

I'm new to the area and have been finding meetups to attend which can be helpful.

I'm here in Fredericksburg, Va. just south of Fairfax, maybe we will end up helping each other.

Hello Joseph, Do you typically work with an agent or do deals directly with the help of a title company?

I use SFR as a seed to grow into multifamily, where the unit numbers can help absorb costs.But, back to the main question, NO, it's not a myth.

That was very helpful.
