What's holding me back is lack of capital with not many ways to save because of bills and such.Now to the deal, it's a 4 unit with 9 beds and 3.5 baths. 250k.

My name is Tes and I'm looking for some advice or guidance on how to properly structure a gift of equity for two homes I'm purchasing directly from my parents.Here are a few details:- There are two properties -- one in Raleigh, NC and the other in Jacksonville, NC.- Both homes are currently owned by my parents and I'll be purchasing directly from them.- These will be investment properties, not primary residences, as I currently live in San Francisco, CA.- I've already started the pre-approval process with a credit union based in North Carolina, but I'd love some help understanding how to structure the gift of equity correctly for investment properties, what documentation may be required, and if there are any specific limitations or tax implications I should consider.- My goal is to close on both homes by the end of the year or early next year.If anyone has experience with gift of equity transactions for invest properties -- especially in North Carolina or involving out-of-state buyers -- or can recommend a loan officer, lender, or real estate attorney familiar with this setup, I'd really appreciate your insight.Thanks in advance!

I would like to remodel the house (4 beds 2,.5 bathrooms), projected at $200,000, and rent as a short term rental during the year on AirBNB (similar).

You buy or make rental dog friendly, have a fenced in yard, no carpet.  

This is why I have never invested in a real estate fund, nor would I ever give money to someone who is looking for a deal.I have friends that invested in a pre-funded deal. 

The most effective way to find the right market is to look for areas that are landlord-friendly, have solid rent-to-price ratios, and steady job growth—Memphis checks all three boxes.

Getting six months of reserves saved was key for my wife & I before purchasing our primary residence.

Hi everyone,I have a single-story, 4-bed / 2-bath home in Sacramento that’s currently rented to a family.

Hey Shameka — nice work getting that first BRRRR almost wrapped up, especially with a 6-bed setup.

You can also include a in the purchase agreement requiring the seller to deliver the property vacant and in similar condition as when you went under contract.
