I work with a lot of investors and some tell me they only want Multi-family while others tell me they are looking for a single family. My question is what do you all prefer? And why do you prefer SFR or MF?

I'm kind of curious where out-of-state investors are looking to put their money. In Dallas, there is a lot of out-of-state investors but I'm wondering where else people are putting their money. I heard Greenville, SC is a great spot right now, any other places people are really attracted to?

I have a GC working on a property in Bedford and I have never seen a sales tax in part of the labor for any bid I have gotten. There is a FB page called Shady Contractors and you could also ask in there to see and get other perspectives but that doesn't seem right to me. 

That's a good point! I should bring them off market deals but also help them analyze a deal or two. Thank you Stephen!

I work with a lot of investors and one common theme I see with a lot of the new investors is that they typically over analyze a deal to the point that they miss out buying a deal if they decide they like it. Most investment properties are being sold in literally hours, max a day, and they often have to run so many numbers that by the time they decide it's already been sold. I tell my investors to make sure they have a certain criteria of a property they are looking for in advance and if a deal pops up that meets what they are looking for then they are able to make a quick decision. My question is to help them with their over analysis, is there a strategy or a different method I should take to help those looking to make their first jump into real estate investing?

There is a meetup event going on this weekend to walk a property and learn more about rehab and what makes a property a good deal. Come join us!
