In 2021, we built a home in Lake County, FL for $180K, that same home today costs $250K to build.Why are home prices so high?

I'm a business owner with investments in retail, media, and addiction treatment facilities.

Help me get this concept clear in my head, should I BRRRR and build a portfolio of 30 homes or build these one at a time as my other sources of income allow. 

I have a STR in a resort community outside St Louis.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

I would buy a place all cash if was an option but the best part of the refinance is that you can use the current equity and the potential new rental income to purchase.

We opted for option 3 for the safest bet in a stagnating market and tight funds.

You are already in the right place in the BP forums, but try to consume as much podcast and reading material as you can.

With a 25% DP on a $250k property, the down would be $62.5k now versus the $100k in your scenario. 

I'm willing to pay for the full year in advance.ME: I'm sorry, but we clearly said in our marketing that this third-floor apartment has a no-pet policy.
