Has anyone used a corporate/travelling worker housing company to house workers. I had Traveler’s Haven reach out to me to house a few guys for two months. They are willing to pay a little more due to short lease duration. They find housing for workers and they also furnish the units for the time the workers are there. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them and if it’s a good idea for me.

I have a few paid off Properties and I would like to know how to get a loan using my properties. I also work in Tustin, but live in Ventura so I rent a couple of days a week for 1600.00 per month I would like to buy a fourplex within 10 or so miles of Tustin. Selling a property in SD and will have at least 100k to put down. Is this a question for Mr Green?

Thank you in advance

Hi All, 

I'm new to BP and wanted to provide a quick introduction. My name is Hannah, and I live in the SF Bay Area (East Bay). I'm a land use consultant who currently focuses on land use entitlements and lease negotiations on behalf of the wireless telecommunications industry. I have experience working in the private sector (focused on telecom projects as well as residential and commercial development) and in the public sector (working in a City Planning department). 

I joined BP because I have recently become more interested in RE investing and would love to connect with local people/groups focused on RE investment. My husband is a partner in a construction company that focuses on residential remodeling as well as a landscaping company. We are always looking to meet new people and collaborate on potential business ventures (myself from the zoning/permitting side and him from the construction side). 

I have enjoyed following along here and learning from this amazing community. I am interested in learning more about out-of-state investing, syndications, ADU development, and innovative house hacking strategies.

I'm a housing policy and zoning nerd and will post interesting housing policy changes to the forum as I see them. There are a lot of shifts in housing policy happening nationwide that may be of interest to this community. 

I look forward to meeting and collaborating with you! 

I earned 90 k as a 1099 contractor working in my LLC. expenses are around 20 k so NOI is 70k. it appears tax efficient if I tax this income as S- corporation. i do have EIN for my LLC and all income and expenses were through LLC named bank account. my issue is I didn't use any payroll throughout the year to pay myself, so does it disqualify me for S- corporation tax option?

will appreciate thoughts / advises / guidance etc.

TIA

 Would using a refi to buy more than one rental be too aggressive of a move?

Question - How many of you invest out of state and manage personally without a property manager?  If you are doing this, how are you handling "boots on the ground" when tenants need to see properties etc? 

Good evening.

I'll try and keep this as brief as I can. I'm interested in getting into RE Investing and I've been doing a lot of research lately reading books, watching videos, etc. I'm 28 years old in Jacksonville, I have a job that pays a little north 100k a year, a 750+ credit score, no debt, and no wife/kids. I was looking into buying multi-family homes and renting them out to get started. Here's where my situation gets interesting. My grandparents put their home in my name last year before my grandfather passed. My grandmother still lives in it as a tennant currently, but it's mine. The home is fully paid off. Everyone I talk/listen to says the first home is alays the hardest and here I've had it fall into my lap like I skipped a few steps. So my question is what are my options here? Good job, excellent credit, no debt, no one to take care of other than myself. How could I use this property to aquire a multi-family investment property? Would a CO Refi be best? HELOC? And could I use it to buy multiple properties if the math works out?

Thanks

Hello all on BP!

Pretty excited to start seeing it all come together for the first time. Just got pre-approved for my mortgage on my first rental property. Making my offer to the seller tomorrow!

Let’s make sure all goes well and everything is taken care of so I can end up with my first rental property! Another upside is I was lucky to find one with a tenant already in place!
