@Tom Burns I doubt this particular property would work for me right now, however I would like to connect with you and work with you on some deals in your area over the next few months. I'm going to send you a colleague request now.

It is only a valid option if you want to buy a forclosure 1-4 unites. Connect with me on here. I sent you a request.
@Samuel Carmichael. Can you direct message me your lenders information please ? I would definitely be interested in a foreclosure multi family property. Preferably in Pawtucket.

Hello, I'm looking for a few wholesalers in Rhode Island. Specifically in the Providence/Pawtucket markets... I'm not really interested in any other sections of Rhode Island at the moment. Thanks in advance.

My market is extremely competitive, houses are selling for well over the listing price, and at a very quick pace. With that being said, do you guys think it's a good idea to purchase a Turn-Key multi-family property for well over the asking price, with the intentions to house-hack and also use the property as a rental income stream for the next several years ?
I've used the Rental Income calculator on here, and it seems to be a decent cash flowing investment, however it appears I won't have any equity for a few years if I purchase it above asking price. There is no getting around paying over-asking price in my particular market. Bidding wars are being conducted on Any & Every house that is for sale right now. It's ridiculous.
So my question is, would you guys pay the extra money to purchase the property knowing that you'll get good cash flow on it, or would you just try to invest in an entirely different market, a market less competitive ?
