Hi,I am an investor in single family homes and am interested to use my equity in them to start investing in multi unit shopping center retail.

Due to my situation I made a mistake but renting my house when I moved out. 

Hey @Robert Ok BiggerPockets has played a valuable role in my own real estate journey over the past 8 years.

About me, most of my assets are RE but in another market so I would be diversifying in that market.Potential for appreciation is very uncertain: prices have risen a lot locally lately and are as high as they have ever been, and it’s unlikely higher prices would be affordable by locals.

My name is William Taylor, I am extremely excited to be a Pro Member in the BiggerPockets community and ready to gain immense knowledge from all of the contributors.

Great to meet you.We source from four primary suppliers: Lowe's, Home Depot, Floor & Decor, and Amazon.

FF isn't the only source, of course, but it is one of the most well know.

FHA gets a bad rap because sellers and many agents think it's only for people who don't have the money so if I had 20 percent, but wanted to use FHA, I would present a proof of funds with my offer showing I have more money, but am using the FHA as a financial option so I can get an investment property as well somewhere else.

None of that really answered my question.

I base my rents on the condition of the unit and the competition.
