@Travis L.Your two years too late. You can always get your nmls license and work for a mortgage broker and set your own hours. Hopefully your in a state that has large loan amounts so I makes it worth your while. You are not an employee as a loan officer so you can work how many hours that you want to.

as a mortgage broker I can say you can get a loan against a home you own . You cant get a loan against a loan. The lender has no way of foreclosing in case you dont pay the lender back. You will have to get a unsecured loan. I know of ways to get unsecured loans if your a W2 employee. You can use payments from your note to pay the unsecured loan payments until you pay it off.

@Mary Jay Look for a 4plex around the midwest for a 360k to 400k price range to see if you can find one the rents for at least 3500 per month. That will help you decide if you should sell and get better cash flow elsewhere. Look for a city where the population is not declining so that you have hopes of rent increases in the future.

I am surprised about El Paso being on the list considering how much of a problem they are having with imigration going into the city. I just saw the newscast about El Paso. I live and sell real estate in Roseville CA and can believe that our market is one of the top markets for growth. We have so many people moving from the bay area that our Hwy 65 is over crowded with cars every day. It is a nice suburb to live in but just getting crowded and this week getting hit hard with rain. This is supposed to be a dry park in Roseville

@sean 

@Sean CagerI just remodeled a home in Antelope with a start date of july 23rd. 2022. I finished the remodel in sep 16th 2022. I had to take out a permit with sacramento county because the prior owner had a building code violation from a old permit in 2018. he never had the prior permit signed off. The permit process was started on july 28th 2022 and sac county finally signed off my permit on december 20th. I wanted to hit my head on concrete so many times when dealing with sac county permit dept. I just wanted to give you a real world example of what happened to me recently. I hope that you can accomplish adding a ADU.

@Cheng ZhouI have lived in Roseville for 20 years now and have invested all over the place around Sacramento county and out of state.  If you ever want data on Placer or Sacramento county properties and areas, you can always PM me. I love looking at the data.

I want to market to my custom list. I have been saving names of people who have asked for buying info from my posts on facebook. Now I need to run ads in front of them every so often so they dont forget me.

I live in Roseville 95747 and we never have power outages. The electric system is under ground. I never thought that was important until the last few years when I kept hearing on the news about all the cities with power outages.  Did you get your offer accepted?
