Purchase price: $232,000 Cash invested: $200,000 Sale price: $575,000 I purchased this single-family property and undertook extensive renovations, including excavating a new foundation and reframing the entire two-story house.

@Michael NguyenI’m a single family investor with 29 SFR.

@Iris OlivasWe have financed single-family homes that were under $100k and we have also bundled some of these sub $100K properties together for commcerical loans.

Another lesson I’ve learned is that buying a single family home as my primary residence to later lease to a tenant is a bad strategy unless I’m purchasing the property at a really low price.

Purchase price: $140,000 in Nov. 2005 Sale price: $175,000 in July 20071872 square foot single family home with no garage.

Starting out, single-family was my go-to—easier to manage and a great intro to the game.

I have 21 units and have recently formed a Series LLC for all 21 units. That has gone smoothly with the exception of one unit that I have my disabled brother living in. I have placed 50% ownership of that one unit in ...

Is it possible to re-finance these separate properties as a group in a single loan?

I am betting for the appreciation of the house in the next years because I don't think I can cash flow in the first years.  

I know it may sound as a BIAS from my side but I think this should NOT be legal to put covenant, see my logic here a builder build a whole community and one part of it is rentals the rest is single family, they put covenants and restrict the market to rent by room just to ensure they can rent their rentals that is a sort of monopolistic behavior and should not be legal.
