You can also start exploring a house hack to utilize the lower DP

I am partnered with a contractor who comes out to look at houses with me, so that does help.

I brought a vision to the home that previous owners couldn't see and therefore sold.

More and more I see buyers look online, drive out to the house, and then while sitting in front of the house, CALL. 

You can have two houses within a quarter mile of each other with vastly different ARV and rent amounts.

Homes that appeal to our target tenant segment range from $350,000 to $475,000, so the supply of housing we target remains almost the same regardless of how many new homes are built.DemandPopulation growth drives housing demand and price and rent increases.

Not worth it on a 100k house, probably worth it on a 300k+ house in the long run. 

With this strategy, we knew exactly how each house was operating and we could intervene or change leadership of the house if necessary to assure operations were going as we expected. 

Needs new everything floors, kitchen, bathroom, paint, roof, landscaping and also has termites and a tentant that's not currently paying rent, for a 1000 sqft property they want 160,000 for it, but my comps say for a rehabed house in similar sqft property in that zip code would sell at 220,000k and I would say it needs atleast 65,000 to 75,000k in repairs so my offer price was at 100,000 to 110,000 and the buyer will not entertain my offerI would like to offer more but if there are any surprises I'd like to be prepared for those cost during the rehab process.

Connect with other investors, agents, and property managers to get a feel for the area and learn from their experiences.Are you thinking about house hacking or just straight-up rentals for now?
