Trails and forest behind the house, brand new gutters, 2 year old water heater, 3 year old A/C. 2 car garage with large, built in work bench.

The house next to ours has a septic tank, so I'm wondering if the code has changed since that one was built in 2001.

After calling zoning, we found out it is zoned commercial so it would allow up to 8 units and a duplex would be no problem.It is a 1,900 sqft brick ranch built in 1973.

As a side gig, I built and currently manage a local Long Island safety equipment company’s website via Shopify and SEO campaigns via Google Ads.

Built into the cleaning fee.

Would love to hear your take on how you built the confidence to forgo the "stack" method and jump right into the deep end?

What I did to learn was I started at episode 1 listened to every BP real estate podcast, read all the how to books BP provides and got on the forums and learned/built relationships with investors in the markets I was thinking about investing with.

There has not been any new duplexes built in our area since the 1980's, so comps were not the best.

Ultimately, we'd keep repeating this pattern until the project was built out and fully rented, essentially using the BRRRR strategy with new construction. 

Wondering if there are any real estate investing events/meetups in the Cedar Rapids /Iowa city area??
