@Srini Ramkumar I lived in SD and was priced out so I refid my home there and took out all the equity bought 6 homes in STL rehabbed them and they are all cash flowing except the 1 I haven’t rehabbed yet. I’d say it’s a great plan but you need to know something about the area. If you have family or friends that could scout out your potential investments way better. I actually moved to St. Louis to be more hands on and can help you when you get ready to take the plunge. It’s very Important to work with someone you trust. Long term I’d love to help out of state investors build there portfolio and help with the rehabs ETC.
@Ben Payano dump it! I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to pay to have someone live in your home. You could take that 110,000 in equity and buy 3 homes or a multi family in St. Louis. Make and extra $1000 a month and buy back into San Diego when the next crash happens. I was a RE Broker in SD from 08 to 2017 and the market is very cyclical. It will go down again for some reason or another and you can get a better deal. Buy low, sell high.

Ex~cel~lent: 

1. extremely good; outstanding.

When you're looking for a General Contractor it's important to hire right the first time. Working with a sub-par professional can be a very expensive mistake. It's better to get a job done right, on time and on budget. Because of the desperate need for investors to have a quality contractor they can depend on, STL RE Investments LLC has created a perfect solution. We work with highly skilled contractors that can address every remodeling need. Our contractors are interviewed, vetted and tested saving you time and hassle. Call us for your quote today and let us get your job done quickly and efficiently.

I know it’s been said a few times but as a real estate broker, a deal is a deal and any opportunity to make a commission is better then no commission. If they work hard for you and represent you well you will have a great member of your team and as your business grows so will his. The other incentive is the word of mouth. If you talk about your great realtor to friends and family and send him referrals he will love you forever!

Post: I want to wait for the next buying opportunity

I'm hoping for a downturn. Prices are ridiculous in San Diego. I think with the legalization of recreational that might not happen for a few years. I have a property in San Diego that has doubled in value over the past 3 years. I think selling over the next 3 years would be smart but as soon as you see consistent depreciation for 6-12 months. That's your sign the market is turning. Once it drops low enough to get in I would buy as many as possible and wait for the turn. It seems the cycle in my area is 5-10 years. It goes up and down.
