I don't know about wholesale but we usually buy appliances at Home Depot or Lowes (when on sale if that's an option) There may be some black friday sales coming up. As far as "wholesale", unless you're going to buy dozens of them, not sure that's realistic. There are some crash and dent outlets that sell new but damaged appliances. On appliances that are going to have a hidden side, that's an option for a discount. For our rentals, we buy used appliances. But we only supply ranges. We don't supply a refrigerator or washer/dryer.

Hello guys, my name is Cesar and I live in New York. I'm a rookie to real estate investing but have been reading RE books and listening to RE podcasts. I want to take the next step in all this and TAKE ACTION.  I am really intrigued by the BRRRR strategy but I would love to do it out of state. I'm considering Nashville & Memphis, TN, Atlanta GA, and Tampa/Orlando/Jacksonville FL for locations.  

I believe that in order to begin this process, I have to build a team.  Who do you all recommend for a RE agent, lender, contractors, property managers, etc?

Side note: I've considered using a turnkey company to get my feet wet but the idea of making a profit upon refinancing within the same year as the purchase to use the money to reinvest and build my portfolio more quickly is what makes the BRRRR strategy more appealing to me.

Thank you in advance for your time reading this and any suggestions you give!

Looking for any recommendations on investor friendly agents in North Atlanta area.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Focus on SFH, small MF, and or commercial A-B properties. Would consider a BRRRR is right one came along.

Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm in Los Angeles and I have come to realize after analyzing many deals. Los Angeles is not a cashflow market ... Duh ! But, I'm looking to replace my income and I have a goal of building enough cashflow to replace my income . Starting with a single family purchase . I know this will take time, mistakes, and learning. I'm okay with all those things.

However, I'm having trouble identifying a market. How have you guys identified your market and built a strong criteria when you got started ?

I heard nashville and Atlanta is good for this and other markets. What metrics should I be looking out for.

So far I have thought of the following.

1) good mix jobs in the area.

2) income levels

3) price of home vs rent prices

4) landlord friendly states

5) rate of tax increases y/o/y

I have low six figures saved in la that's nothing 😅. But I also have great credit.

Any thoughts would help.

@Jay Trotman Congratulations! What area of Atlanta is this deal in?
