Quote from @Jonathan Beaumont: Good morning.I will be responsible for collecting rent and paying bills for two small apartment buildings.

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!

For investors, that shift creates two very different opportunity zones:• In the “slow” markets:  motivated sellers, better terms, and creative deal potential. 

Hey Keis, great move getting ready for your first multifamily.If I can add my two cents — the most important part of buying your first 2-family in NYC is making sure you truly understand the local market and the underlying ownership conditions of any property you’re considering.

Hey everyone,I’m analyzing a potential house hack in Waterford, CT and would love some feedback from the community.This is a unique property because it has two separate single-family homes on one lot.

You two are already off to a strong start.

Trying to assess the best strategy on what people are typically doing whether its 2-4 night min stays during off-peak with lower occ or is it typically MTR / 28+ day stays until summer?

I have an off-market opportunity in Aurora, Colorado with a validated seller who has two residential homes (a 3/2 and 4/2) sitting on a one-acre lot.

That game ends one way: fines and Saturdays spent calling plumbers who don’t answer.Here’s how I run it now.30 min unit check (quarterly): Do NOT wait for tenants to report problems.
