It made me realize that I don’t just want to learn about real estate; I want to build the skills, capital, and discipline to acquire properties like that myself someday. 

The key question is whether you are acquiring the property at a sufficient discount to compensate for the permanent location factor.

This year I’m intentionally focused on working with investors and developers in the residential space, particularly those acquiring and repositioning small multifamily properties.My background is in high end residential architecture, where I was deeply involved in day to day operations, client management, and bringing large scale custom builds from concept through construction.

This parcel has a triplex and a small detached novelty shop. all fully occupied. their is still a lot of empty  space to build a ADU, Duplex. but of course still need to get a CUP and planning approved from the city planning department. is it or is their a construction loan to acquire to fund the build of a ADU, Duplex  than refinance the exciting loan to and new loan to pay off the construction loan? 

This is my first deal and it's been an exciting opportunity to learn the full process of acquiring, renovating, and preparing a property for resale.In the Houston area there are still opportunities to purchase properties below market value and improve them to meet buyer demand.

You can still acquire a three-bedroom property here for under $200,000.That combination — double-digit appreciation and sub-$200K entry — is increasingly rare in any market.

The property has strong fundamentals (roof, HVAC, and water heater are in good shape) but it hasn’t been cosmetically updated since original build.The plan would be a full renovation: kitchen, both baths, flooring, fixtures, and potentially some layout modification to bring it in line with nearby renovated comps.I’m hoping to acquire with a VA loan (assuming appraisal and any lead-based paint concerns clear) and budget approximately $150k for renovation (plus contingency).

Hi everyone,I wanted to share a real situation I’m currently navigating and see how experienced investors typically solve this piece of the capital stack.I’m working on acquiring a workforce housing property in Pecos, Texas that is already stabilized and producing solid cash flow.

There are different stages in flipping starting from acquiring to disposing the flipped property.

The property was acquired for $39,000 and improved with $51,775 in renovations before being brought back to market and sold for $130,000.
