Hi Grayson, I have a property in the Lynnwood area that I was living in, but moved recently.

When researching rental properties for potential investment. 

U will not get wealthy on just cash flow actually unless you scale to LOTS of doors cash flow will not do much for you .. you need values to hold and go UP while your tenants are paying down your mortgage wealth is created by equity. the cash flow starting out if your leveraging is just so minimal any way what is 200.00 a month going to do for you ????

Hi Heather, I own about 150 residential units and a number of commercial properties in Cheyenne.

My husband and I are new to BP and rental property investing.

When taking on a rehab project, do you prefer high-end properties or affordable housing?

I have no properties yet - just working a regular job and doing some freelance work on the side.

Financing the deal with private money was effective for quick acquisition and rehab, which added substantial value by making the property more desirable for tenants.The main lesson from this investment was the importance of careful property valuation.

Is it any harder now to find a deal or is it the same as always, just a different group that learned that real estate actually does require work?

And to go for appreciation if you're going to look out of state, meaning don't buy cheap Class C properties OOS for the "cash flow on paper".
