As you begin your REI journey here is one tip I have for you:Use this website as you are trying to narrow down the places you want to invest in. https://www.areavibes.com/Its awesome because it gives you a "total livability score" & you can compare different zip codes & streets to others. 

Quote from @John Winters: Greetings BP ~I am hoping to receive some feedback on the financial feasibility of this plan and/or some tips to improve it. 

If so do you have any suggestions or tips for best practices to do this?

I’d appreciate any guidance or tips to get started on the right path.

If you have any tips, resources, or advice for someone just starting out, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.Some specific things I’m working on right now:Building a strong buyers list.Identifying motivated sellers and honing my outreach.Learning the ins and outs of structuring win-win deals.I’m open to partnering, collaborating, or just grabbing coffee to exchange ideas.

If anyone has tips or suggestions, I am more than open.For better or worse, I am taking a leap.

If you ever want to explore loopholes, tips or tricks on the finance side let me know or send me an email. 

Let me know if you need any tips on working with contractors or setting expectations.

—it’s also about reliability, attention to detail, and someone who just “gets” your space and your guests’ expectations.Do you have any hidden gems, local recommendations, or tips to share?

My father is a certified contractor in NJ—he’s built one home, flipped four, and consistently handles upgrades and maintenance for me and his other clients.I’d appreciate any tips or stories from those who’ve turned equity into a profitable venture.
