You picked a great community to join.. have you checked out local comps to gauge the market vibe yet?

I am trying to invest in a certain market and I am curious as to how many realtors i should be reaching out to and trying to establish relationships in that particular area.

A formal business built on this seems overkill as you’re essentially paying someone for a service that already has standard model.If you and the parnter have distinct business tasks/abilities (i.e. not what you would hire an agent or contractor for), such as off-market lead generation, that’s a different discussion.

I've been running the numbers on different properties using a variety of online calculators for properties that I initially thought looked like there may be potential.

With rates high, I don't see much changing in the market as buyers struggle to afford a mortgage. 

Way to many investors were buying properties for more then they were worth with hopes of collecting MUCH MORE than market rent.

Low down payment AND it cash flows also AND buyer has title.Maybe I am asking too much, but I don't think so.Perhaps you just market to homeowners.

As we wrap up the year and look ahead to 2025, the real estate market continues to present unique challenges and opportunities for investors, brokers, and lenders alike.

I've been wanting to expand out of my market in Iowa, and see that the Winter Haven, Lakeland, Haines City areas are similar to purchase points as my market.
