    As a California real estate broker for over 25 years, I can honestly tell you the hardest property you'll ever buy in your life is the first one. Almost every first time buyer gets "scared" and experiences some form of "buyer's remorse" after buying their first property. The good news is that the second, third and every property thereafter that you buy will become much easier for you. In the future you will be able to buy with more confidence and conviction. In America, owning good real estate is great way to build wealth. Trust me, you will not regret your decision to buy your first property. Congratulations Marina and family!

      Beautiful property and a great plan you have!
      As for renovations of an STR with real cash flow goals in mind the best way to manage that is determine the lowest season of the year for that area then plan ahead so you can go in and get it done quickly. Allow longer dates blocked off on your calendar than you think the renovation should take. You don't want to ruin someone's vacation by not hitting your renovation timeline. It would be better for you to stay at your place a few extra blocked off weeks after the reno is completed and experience the new place.

    Amazing. We bought our firs house in CA during the height of the bubble, then we bought the second after the burst...but we were extremely reluctant...All in all, both turned out to be the best investment.

    We’ve just returned from Miami and saw some property there and HOA is extremely high. Like for 1-bedroom 1200$ per month when monthly apartment rent is 2500$. Plus tax and this year the roof was repaired and the management added +400$ HOA every month during 7 years😳. Pool and some stuff are good but HOA😣.
    What do you know about that in your property? Thank you

    🎉Congratulations from your Los Altos neighbors 😊. We bought our Maui vacation rental and fully remodeled it in the beginning of 2023. It was scary but we don’t regret it at all. Here are a few words of advice from our experience: 1) if you can, do the full remodel right away. It might take 3-4 months. Remember every time you want to do any of the work on your unit, you have to get an approval from your HOA and that might take a week or two. Remember your contractor is probably working on 3-4 projects at the same time and it would be difficult to schedule his work around your schedule. 2) Make sure to work with the materials and furniture that is available on the island. Getting anything custom or from the mainland might take up to 3 months. 3) make sure to have a payment schedule with your contractor and make him stick to it. 4) it would be great if one of you is always there to supervise the remodel…. Things don’t move when you are not there… 5) Don’t get stressed and try to enjoy the process 😊

    Марина , поздравляю! 🎉🎉🎉
    Флорида все ещё имеет приемлемые цены для инвестиционной недвижимости сейчас, которые продолжают расти .
    Например: $300к цена покупки новостройки в районе , который стремительно растет и развивается = долгосрочная Аренда $2,400/мес ( остальные цифры считаем исходя из самой сделки : покупка за наличные или с помощью финансирования , расходы на НОА, Налог, Страховку) . И бонус: такой дом вырастет в цене на минимум $100к как только район будет закончен и застроен 😃.
    Буду рада помочь как риэлтор с более чем 16 летним опытом во Флориде.

    Condo in Hawaii, big woop-de-do! I was hoping you'd say you bought a house in Los Altos, Atherton, Menlo Park, or Palo Alto. I lived in what is now known as Silicon Valley back in 1957 through 1962 -- when, instead of silicon chips, -- fruit packing was the largest industry. My brother graduated from San Jose State in 1963 with a n EE degree and bought a house in Los Altos Hills. I won't make you ill by telling you what he paid for it in 1977. But I will tell you how much a high school classmate of mine (I went to the same "Silicon Valley" High School that Gordon Moore co-founder of Intel graduated from) bought an eight bedroom mansion in San Francisco overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge for in 1972 -- $65,000, and sold in three years later for the same price. In 1975 real estate was selling so slow that the IRS offered a 5% tax credit on the purchase price. In three years look for real estate to drop to semi-realistic in SV.

    @bengt_axle 4 месяца назад

    The big risk is if you borrow at today's relatively high interest rate and have to lock in for a few years, you can lose a lot of money if your condo is not rented and generating income. And on top of that, you are assuming that this rental income will cover your mortgage for your home. Leveraging can be very risky. RUclips can also decide to just pay content creators less per video, because there is absolutely no entry barrier and more content creators are just competing with each other, so each one is getting less views. But owning a home is not just a financial decision. If you have kids, it is important and meaningful to have a house you expect to stay in for a long time.

    Plus we owned our first house for 4 year we didn't have one problem we owned the second one for 8 years e only had to call a plumber once and it was nothing expensive
    So owning a house doesn't mean that your are going to have something to repair & not all reparations are expensive sometimes it's just a smll problem
    So take breaths enjoy the process & thinks that everything is going to be great with zero problem

    Idk what “American daycares” she is referencing, but some clarification and truths need to be made:
    1) MOST AMERICAN daycares DO provide food. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack. Lunch is always a warm, cooked meal and they serve a variety of foods. The exceptions I’ve seen to this (where you bring your own meal) is in super niche daycares.
    2) MOST AMERICAN daycares are NOT open until 2pm. I honestly have NO CLUE where THAT is the case. MOST are open from 6am - 6pm. THAT’S 12 HOURS of operation time. Even in super niche daycares I have not heard of a 2pm closing.
    3) You can find an American daycare for LESS THAN $2,600 / mo. You can find an American daycare for MORE THAN. That is 100% location dependent AND super niche (for the high cost).
    In short, this lady is being scammed and paying double for an overpriced daycare that doesn’t even open at reasonable hours (6am - 7am) but opens at 9am. Not sure being exposed to Russian if you can’t/aren’t continuing the language outside the daycare is even worth $2,600/month. If you think eating “organic” everyday for $2,600 / mo is worth it than cool.
