Hi everyone,After several false starts in my real estate investing journey, I feel like I’m finally educated enough to give it another try.Due to my current situation (dealing with health issues and primary source of income being disability), I don’t have the energy to do a lot of the legwork necessary to succeed in buying/evaluating/managing properties nor the income for (more) conventional loans.I do, however, have access to capital thanks to managing my money well before my health changed.

The reason I still consider them a scam is because they never meet in person with the person paying the fee, the person can say they have whatever condition they want that qualifies them for the ESA, and it seems like the main purpose of these sites is not to evaluate or treat that condition but rather to just document it so the site can generate the certificate and collect the fee. 

You will need to have a local lawyer evaluate it in light of Hawaii law. 

That comes from looking at and evaluating LOTS of deals.

@Jamilson Conceicao, The best advice that I can give you is to evaluate your market and execute based on the information on the ground!

Something else to think about as you evaluate other potentially opportunities if you go the 1031 route.

I'm concerned about not signing my first tenant this month, but also wanted to stick to the rent I evaluated for.

I’m evaluating a property for purchase.

Hey everyone,I'm currently in the process of evaluating real estate strategies going forward and attempting to convert the substantial equity I have in two single family homes into cash flowing multi-family properties seems to be an appealing possibility, but I'm not totally certain on how the process would unfold, so I figured I'd put it before the public for advice.

When evaluating a multifamily investment, it’s important to look at the cash flow because that’s where the income will come from prior to selling the property.Some investments have little cash flow but have the potential for strong appreciation.
