I found a few that I liked and Melissa was able to help me quickly identify which ones were best for me and proceed with the purchasing process.

@Aristotle KumpisWe do 10+ Flips/BRRRRs annually and fund with Hard Money and Private Money.Hard Money will fund 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab on a draw schedule.Our Private investors will fund the remaining 10% of the purchase price, the first portion of the rehab (to be drawn later from the HML), and the holding costs.Of course, with private lenders, you must give up equity or a return on the debt.

We managed over half of the purchase price in cash and then the remainder was held as a 3 year seller's note.

@Rosette PooleRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Dear BP community, I am currently evaluating a property for purchase, and the listed bedroom/bathroom (s) count does not match with the county records.

I’ve been a member since November of 2024 and my review of Rent to Retirement was based on my experience purchasing a rental from out of state which went very well compared to other experiences I’ve had to go through.

There is another location I found after we had purchased this.  

But unless you get a value-add property, purchasing real estate really doesn't make much sense in this environment?

This, in turn, allows for higher rental rates or quicker sales, directly impacting the ROI.I could remember when an investor purchased an old, three-story commercial building at  a bustling downtown area.
