Hey Jody,
Would love to look over more specific numbers to help you with this decision, but my initial thought would be if you sold the property on acreage and used those funds to buy any sort of multifamily investment in its place, and then proceed with your original plan you should be in a better position for cash flow as well as better set up for a 1031 exchange down the road once you're ready to reposition your portfolio.
Again, initial thoughts. Hope this helps!

Hey BP,
I have a large address list for a farm that I am looking to mail to and curious what recommendations are out there for companies that handle this type of service?
Thank you!

This awesome, have been seeing PGE promoting a lot of 100% renewable energy programs lately as well offering big credits for things like solar panels added to your property.
Congrats on the new project as well.

Hi David,
I might be able to help you build out some projected numbers here. Are you planning on getting a normal conventional loan to purchase or what will be your financing?

Hi Erik,
I am an investment focused realtor and look to invest myself. I am connected to a handful of wholesale guys here in the area that shoot me their deals to analyze. Send me your email address as I forward along these vetted wholesale deals to my clients after I analyze and can project a potential margin with my ARV.

Nice to meet you Josh!
I am also located here in the Portland area as well and like to stay connected with our local investors/fellow BP followers. I focus a lot on our local market but happy to help analyze numbers and develop strategies for properties outside of the state.

@Avery Heilbron Correct, it is a loan package offered by a lender I work closely with here in the Portland area. I am not sure what that looks like from state to state as I mainly focus here locally.

Exactly! One of my favorite strategies and correct like I mentioned this only works if you are looking to "house hack" and willing to have the investment to be your primary residence. Which is also why I really like this loan package, since it is your primary residence there is no need for any reserve. Thanks for reading!
