I would go off of the numbers. Everyone is different. Most people will buy in the 70-80% ARV range. Also look at the return on investment in $$ and how long the project will take.

Solid advice, planning your buy box then finding the deal that fits is always a smart move to keep emotions out of the thrill of the hunt.

congratulations @Tenetrice Johnson!!! What a monumental day! It only gets easier from here, keep on plugging away!

I'm definitely working on the emotional part. Thank you for the kind words and the advice. It really means a lot.

Ok. I will definitely take the ROI into consideration going forward. Thank you Caleb!

Hello all. I just made my first call with an agent on a distressed home and....It. Felt. Good. The agent was nice, I tried my best not to sound "new" or "nervous" but I built a little rapport and put in my offer. WHEW! I asked her what percentage of the ARV are people buying at and she didn't know. How would I find that out? I used .75% to calculate my offer to her but I know some markets fluctuate. Thank you for reading.

Hey guys! I think we are going to shoot for:

September 8th 5:30-8:00 at Sidecar Social in Addison. Please let us know if you can make it so that I can give the space a call ahead.

There isn't a separate room, but the space is huge. I was interested in something pretty informal... but if any additional meetups happen from this thread/group I would be open to trying to make those too! Look forward to meeting you.

Yes!!! I will be there! I look forward to meeting you all!

Hi all! I know it is late notice, but we have a meetup tonight. It is in Highland Village from 6-9pm at Hugo's Lost Colony. Free food and drink and just networking! Let me know if you have any questions or if you need more details!

Omg! I wish I had saw this yesterday. I hope it was a good turn out. I'll be on the lookout for the next meeting.

Any updates? I'm looking for cash buyers and the meetup would definitely help me network with great end buyers.

Hi. I'm just starting my real estate journey. I am currently Driving for Dollars in surrounding cities of Dallas, Tx. I work 8a-5p for an insurance company and after work I drive around at least 2 hours or until I get 10 properties on my list for the day. I come home and look them up on the DCAD (Dallas Central Appraisal District) website or which ever site is in charge of the property records. I just started this process so I am also looking for the best way to reach out to the owners (postcard or cold calling), best format for a contract and other various things. If anyone else is doing something similar PLEASE give me some tips. I'll keep y'all updated. :)
