Renting out your townhome is a great way to start building experience as a landlord.

Happy to chat through my experience. 

Who has experience with borrowing the down payment, carrying costs and fees to keep the project moving.  

Since you already have construction experience, you’re ahead of many new investors and it’s a huge advantage for value add or small multifamily deals.For your first step, I’d lean toward something like a 4-plex or small multifamily where you can learn the process hands on and keep more control.

Curious if anyone here has experience in assisting clients with insurance.

Are there any lenders out there that have experience with this and the appetite to fund the purchase and conversion? 

We'd appreciate any recommendations or prior experiences with companies which do this, rough cost, and any other useful information.Great thread here that provides a lot of feedback on how to evaluate which type of cost seg to get and more https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1258422-cost-...  

Quote from @Armando Carrera: Hi everyone,Need some feedback from you who have experience in this department.

Whether or not this is a good idea depends on your current situation, past experience, and long-term goals.If you have acquisition experience, construction experience, or other relevant skills, you may be ready to begin analyzing deals and making offers.If you have no prior experience in flipping or construction, this venture will be very risky.

Does anyone have experience using them?
