I'm really confused on what to do.

If you use a PM on the STR/MTR the cash flow is competitive with LTR.  

1. use the 1031 money to buy 2 investment properties with a combined values >= the sales price2. use the 1031 money to improve one of my existing investment properties (e.g. building an ADU / remodeling)Thanks

Lower on a 7/1 ARM. 

I'm looking into moving to Houston Texas so I can purchase a Fourplex or triplex and house hack by living in one of the units.

I have two roommates in one of the units, both of whom are in the military.

By taking calculated risks and implementing the right strategy, one can achieve success in real estate.Good luck!

Hey everyone,Are there any sites you would recommend for market research on an area other than looking at census data?

I have several commercial transactions pending and as recently as this week clients are obtaining much improved terms:- 25% down on a 20+ unit apartment complex at 5.5% Down 25 year amortization. - 25% down on a 20k SF Warehouse at 6% 25 year amortization. - 30% down on 200+ storage unit complex Earlier this summer those rates were approaching 7.5-8%We anticipate a very active fourth quarter. 

How does one go about making an offer on a commercial space that is becoming vacant shortly, such that if I cannot find a qualified tenant to fill the vacancy that I can walk away from the deal?
