Hi Bigger Pockets Crew, I need some advice on how to make my next move. I own a 2 door property that has about 200-250k in equity. I owe about $200k and it is worth between $400 and $475k. I really want to buy another...

I acquired the book "Real Estate by the Numbers" by J.

My intention was to point out the lack of understanding of what the coverage actually offers and how most investors acquire the coverage with unreasonable expectations.

Would I be able to acquire a loan to cover the repairs on a such a property?

Also, you'll likely need more than one property to replace your current income so you need to acquire multiple properties with the least additional capital.Rents follow property prices, with a 2 to 5 year lag.

As an owner occupant, you have the widest range of options, from VA (if you happen to be a qualfied veteran, with as little as 0% down), FHA (sometimes requiring as little as 3.5% down), to conventional (usually at 20% down), usually at better financing terms, in addition to the options below for investment properties. 

Are you still acquiring those?

Looking for advice for the best areas to buy, build, and hold.  Preferably warmer climates with winter approaching.

This is a good question and a common scenario for investors juggling flips, STRs, and additional units.From the guest experience perspective, I suggest being upfront with guests about the construction, mentioning it when they book or in your listing, it can go a long way in managing expectations and minimizing negative reviews.

We aim to provide additional housing units where there aren't enough, and to focus on base hits.
