However, if you have the time and prefer to source properties on your own, I would highly recommend the following strategies:Connect with probate attorneysVisit property auctions: These happen monthly and, surprisingly, aren’t saturated with investors.Cold callingTarget LLC owned properties: Over the years we have seen an influx of companies purchasing SF for rentals/long-term holds and they failed to account for property taxes and an increase in new construction coming to the market.

Recently, more on the higher side since people can get 5% in a savings account. 

Of course that doesn't take into account rent increases so it could be less time.

I'm using my VA loan so I don't have to put any money down & can keep money in my account to fund rehab deals. 

Personally I don’t like being cash flow negative on properties, but I guess if you have an amazing W2 and a good reserve account and the new property is going to cash flow really well then maybe consider it.

Quote from @Account Closed: Quote from @Neil Clooney: Hi,Does anyone have any advice on real estate mentorship programs.

Don't forget to account for the cost of the appraisal or any other vendors...an appraisal and survey will over $1000 combined, for example. 

(I helped/mentored a lot of hosts to know this)Of course, it is market-dependable and depends on the size of your accounts.

@Chris L.Thumbs up for catching your accountant's error! 

Yes its a goal, but there is no accountability to the goal.
