I found a pretty stellar deal in Texas hill country, a few months earlier than I was prepared for (doesn't seem like most deals have particularly convenient timing!)   I can fund the deal, but it will be a real push w...

Hey BP Community,
I’m curious to hear from investors who are buying and holding land in DFW. What’s your approach, and how’s it been working for you? Are you focusing on raw land, infill lots, or something more niche...

Nice play, congrats on the deal.

In Oregon you can kick out who ever is living there unless the federal law regarding arms length leases comes to play..

But it's playing with fire to buy there if STR is a priority as it's very likely they will eventually start enforcing it better.

The CF is only playing catchup to the cost to you of the property. 

Quote from @Jake Baker: I agree with @Maxwell Ventura that the tier 3 license is a great play.

Investors think in numbers, exit strategies, and long-term plays, while homebuyers think in emotion and monthly payments.What are some of the biggest differences you’ve noticed when working with or transitioning into real estate investing?

Everyone has the right to write about their experience but I would be more inclined to pay attention to the review of someone who has been playing video games for years than the person in your example who purchased their first Xbox with no past experience.

I was playing with the idea of selling my condo, taking 300k of the equity to put a down payment towards a house listed at 660k.I'm assuming the reno will run $300/sqft and going in with the assumption that phase 1 will run 750k (figure the expansion of the house will have to wait) for the gut reno.I assume/hope (but definitely not banking on) that I will be able to refi in 2-3 years at a lower interest rate; if not for a lower rate.This will likely be a family home for the next 5-10 years at LEAST so investment value isn't quite at top of mind ATM.Questions:Even if it's not for lower interest rate, do you feel it's advisable to refi to remove the 203 loan in the future?
