@Shanty Wu Beyond what others have already pointed out, you also need to know the building code requirements for the municipality in which you intend to build. Having lived in the Seattle area for 40 years, there are some dramatically different building, zoning, and density requirements depending which city you are working in.

I have not but I have seen news stories report costs for affordable housing. Keep in mind, you generally have to use prevailing wages which brings costs up quite a bit too.

Do you currently own a home you are living in? If not, have you looked into/considered house hacking?

As far as investment property goes, I prefer markets that have a proven track record of appreciation because that's ultimately where the money is.

Do you live near Leavenworth? Do you self manage the property?

Convenience is an important factor to me. So I like to invest close to home or in an area that I'm very familiar with. That's something to consider for your next property.

If you're planning on selling, I would look into increasing some of the rents. It would be very hard for a buyer to cash flow with current interest rates and lower rents.

Time in school counts towards your 2 year employment history for most types of loans.

Hello! I am looking for tips on starting a local meetup group in the Bay Area, CA specifically in the Peninsula neighborhood. The only meetups I have been able to find are located in the East Bay or the San Jose area. I'm surprised there isn't one happening in my neighborhood. Any tips on how to begin and not have it be expensive to start? I am looking to network with like-minded investors looking to get into the real estate investing game or experienced investors willing to share their tips from their journey.

@Brenda Chen hosts regular meetups in SF and surrounding areas.

Hey, if there are any good real estate investors who can answer my question it would be great. So I'm 20 years old and Im learning about the real estate investing business but i don't know if I should dive straight to investing or if I should do fix and flip first or maybe wholesaling and then start investing?

Congratulations on starting early. I would recommend starting with a real estate license. That's how I started at 19. It's a good avenue to learn real estate.

For fix and flips, do you have capital to invest or construction skills? If so, you could explore that in parallel.
