BiggerPockets has some pro tools that let you see rent to price ratios and other cool stats, I use this to check out various markets and which seem to have better/worse profitability. Could be a good place to start!

I think that VG here has a pretty great perspective. If you can save up for a slightly higher down payment your margin for success will be significantly higher.

Also, I strongly agree with the "buy the worst in a great neighborhood, live in the worst unit of the triplex and slowly fix it up yourself." Great way to go about things.  @V.G Jason 

Very interesting. I'll have to read more about this on my own then. Thanks for the info. @Jay Hinrichs 

Cool, what are you focusing on to pin down which investment strategy you're looking for? I'm planning on buying a LTR at the moment, likely small multifamily.

markets are hard too. Lots of good choices!  @Thomas Farrell 

Have other states taken similar actions yet? What effects would you expect to see from this legislation change?@Jay Hinrichs

Sean, this is a great place to start, use Robin's helpful links: @Robin Simon 

Welcome to the group Thomas! What are you investing in or considering investing in during 2025?

Have you considered going to BPCON in October this year? (las Vegas). Definitely the best place to meet like-minded investors!

I'm also here to recommend Dainaird's new book on flipping. Check it out! There are also some great YT vids on the topic, search "BiggerPockets house flipping" or something similar. Dainard is especially interesting to listen to on the topic.

You can also use the CPA Finder here on BiggerPockets to get started too.

Is skipping the appraisal a cash-saving concern? Or are you worried about where the appraisal will shake out?
