Bought a property in 2012 for $220k, now worth ~$310K. Been rented at $2000/mo P5Y. Was gonna sell to get cash for a new investment but after taxes and fees I only cash $240K. Would cash out refi be..

I currently own a home in a nice area of California (central coast) and there’s an empty acre lot of grass next door.

Well it’s for sale, they’re asking 245k for it. That’s really high for something this small and not yet connected to utilities with no access to city sewer. We likely won’t offer that high per our realtors advice. Need input on if this is a smart real estate investment move, we’d be taking out a loan against our house to buy it and eventually build and rent our current house

Airbnb Rental Arbitrage

Hi all, seeking your advice.

I don't have money to buy another property, I already have a mortgage and I heard about Airbnb arbitrage where you can start doing short term rentals without owning the property.

Have you had any experience s on this field?

What are the pros and cons?

Is it a good idea to start it?

Thanks in advance for your input.

I inherited tenants when I bought the house- decent people & pay rent on time. But I don't have any sort of IDs of them. Do I have a ground to request them for a copy of their IDs?

Would you give your new tenant some leeway if there was a few days delay in transferring over utilities?

Hi Fishes - real estate investing newbie here. My level of knowledge is essentially at the rich dad / poor dad level. Any recommendations for best books to read / best YouTube channels to follow to get deeper knowledge? If it helps, I live and hence will probably invest in the NY/NJ area… TYIA!

As a seller, is there any true benefit of a cash offer VS an offer from a fully approved buyer and FC waived off for conventional loan. I am going to get my $ either way, right?

Best book(s) to get started in real estate investing?

Bought condo from parents for 180K with fmv 450K. I’m coming up on 2 years of living here but thinking about moving. Should I sell or rent out? 165K left on mortgage. Monthly cashflow if I rent would be ~200-300.

I’m getting restless. I want to buy a property for some cash flow. I’m in Florida and there is nothing with cap rate over 3-5% unless you buy trashed places and Reno. Is the entire country like this?

Do you all escrow you taxes and insurance? Mine are 8,000 a year. I feel like not doing it for my refi and putting it in a high-yield savings. Thoughts?

Is there a way to get a mortgage for rental property? I own my primary home with a mortgage w/SO already. What kind of lender is out there that will take potential rental income into consideration for debt to income ratio part of the application?

Anyone buy property in South/Central America ? Considering making an investment in a unit in Panama City, Panama. Friends and I visit here and there + AirBnb seems to work well there. We have a lawyer contact and have a friend that purchased down there, but they aren’t as concerned about short term rental cash flow. Overall purchase price is low (300K) for a nice large condo in a nice area of the city. Just curious on the thoughts of others.

What would you do in this situation?
We live in a small but growing town near Charlotte. The city’s housing market is booming and so is ours. There is LOT of new construction in our area and my house is 15yrs old but has lots of upgrades. My house has also appreciated well and my youngest is a rising junior so we were planning to downsize in 2-3 yrs when he goes to college so what I am trying to decide is whether to sell now to lock in the profit or wait for 2-3 yrs - continued in comments below
