Struggling to Purchase Property
I am wondering if others are having the same issue as me or if I am doing something wrong.
I have been looking to purchase properties for almost four months now, and I cannot find anything that would give me the return I would want (12%-14% ROI). I have made several offers, but I am usually getting outbid.
Should I sit tight or should I start being more aggressive? If I should be aggressive, what steps would you take?
