My name is Alvin Aquino,I am residential real estate investor, I tried working hard to know all what i need to avoid mistakes, being very extra careful, by doing my due diligence, planning ahead, as a result of this endeavor, I felt i wanted to full proof investment due to economic situation, so we diversified into commercial retail business with the family.I currently own a townhouse, a rental property that pays the mortgage on my current home in full, and I decided to built another single detached  house close to the church which the family really like, the condition to the lender is to sale my current home, but now we decided not to sale instead rent it out.I am seeking advice and direction on which financial institution to go or a way not to sale my current house instead have it rented to create cash flow and appreciation of the house.

-The property has only 1 zoning permit.

Tax write-off blah blah is a lot of gobbledygoop that should not really be your reason for investing - especially when other properties might be able to be bought that result in such good returns that you shouldn't mind paying EXTRA Taxes!

Hello everyone I'm an audio tech from NY my wife is a middle school teacherWe are looking to invest in real estate  in order to secure some savings for our two kids and maybe even provide extra income for ourselves as well. 

She decides to move out and break her lease so she pays an extra months rent to get out of it and is told to leave by Aug 31st at noon because they had rented it out to someone else.

If it isn't visible, I'm saving that extra money and applying asphalt!

There is no extra debt and no interest payments.Live in the home and continue to enjoy its appreciation.

do you think it would make that much of a difference and be worth the extra money?

I have a guy who knows how to cut the right corners when it come to certain materials, permits and labor savings. 

Students were practically knocking down the door to get in....AND they've already asked if they can extend their leases for an extra year.
