I think I would like to start investing long distance, in other areas that have a better rental market using the BRRRR method. I have been reading up on the BRRRR strategy & am currently reading David Greene's book about long distance investing. It's a good book, as they all are...but there is one thing I'm still not sure of & it doesn't seem to clarify very well. HOW do you do the research on other markets? What websites & reports do you use to get the data on rent ratios, market appreciation, income appreciation, and job growths?

So I guess I'm asking...what kind of statistics do you look for in other markets, and where do you find this information?

As usual, I know I'll get great feedback, thanks in advance!!

Good to meet you Jayson. I’m in your area as well. Would love to chat about how financing is working for you on rentals! Message me

Williamsburg is a niche market for sure. I've met a few of the other guys there at Property Pals at REI meetings. I've found most of my deals by who I know..it always seems to be someone who knows someone. Not much luck through MLS, lots over overpricing even with work needed.

How about you?

I ran across, what I think I remember being a podcast where Brandon Turner was explaining how to get rentals and pay them off. It was something like, you buy 2 a year and refi for 15 years, but at some point use the equity to buy more...but it may have been in one of the bigger pocket’s books. I read & listen to a lot of their content - but now I can’t figure out where it was. It was the COOLEST concept...HEELLLPP!!!

oh dang!, we’re out of town...but would have loved to come. How often do you do this?

Bummer! Thanks anyway

Thanks so much for your thoughts Greg. We rehab. I do have a VA who answers calls for me a couple hours each day. Our area is very lean for MLS deals. Do you find it is becoming hard to get a deal from wholesalers? We have a lot of newbies and there are a lot of deals circulating our area with incorrect valuations or spreads that don't work so we've been marketing direct for sellers.

Hey all, hoping someone may have a connection to a good CPA who is familiar with real estate investors and being strategic about helping make sure we are making good decisions. I am in the Williamsburg, VA area so close to there would be helpful.

Appreciate the referral!!

You could even consider this a poll:

If a new investor (we’ve done live in flips but just decided to do more as a business) does their 1st deal and they have 20k to spend on marketing - what, in your opinion, is the best method to ramp it up? I was thinking of hiring AdWord Nerds to help with SEO and paid ads. It’s $16,000 for 4 months, including a 2,000/mo ad spend. I've heard divide your ad money across several types, but I've also heard to concentrate on one method is best. And there are a lot who argue the internet provides better quality leads. I still work a FT job so I feel trying to narrow down to better quality leads would help my time management...

Thoughts? Thanks in advance for your time!

Thanks everyone! These are all filled with such great gold nuggets. Appreciate you guys taking the time to provide feedback.
