Start by mastering the basics: find motivated sellers, build strong connections with cash buyers, and never stop learning.

After watching a YouTube video from Ken McElroy stating 2020 is a wash, 2021 is the time to save up, and 2022 is likely the time to buy (when properties shift from motivated sellers to foreclosures to REO) I decided to redirect some recent Real Estate proceeds out of a 1031 into BTC.

@Jonathan Greene what you're saying is incredibly true about adding value.

By offering a BETTER value proposition at a lower than average price a tenant is VERY hard pressed to have a motivation to move and to be able to find a comparable property for similar rent.

I live in Miami, FL and don't want to buy here since prices are incredibly high.I want to invest in growing communities, not exactly sure if I want to buy an AirBnb as my first out-of-state investment or 3-6 month short term, or a 1 year+ property.

This is before even the problem that these techniques and strategies work only in a limited number of opportunities, and these opportunities can only be recognized by someone with knowledge of real estate principles, law and finance. interestingly, what seems to sell nowadays is this pop cultural belief that education in anything but specific techniques is worthless; that something called motivation, combined with a positive mindset and an unwillingness to accept reality will triumph over anything else and lead to massive success.  

That motivates them to report leaks, running toilets, or other issues.

@Jarrod Ochsenbein Incredible work! 

The primary motivators in retaining it and dipping our toes into the rental space are: 2.50% APR and sufficient margin to cover maintenance/capex/vacancy based on "recommended percentages of gross rent."

Also I would look for listings hitting the 30 day or 60-day mark for motivated sellers.
