@Josue RamosRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Purchased in 2015 for $57k seller financed.

We have purchased 8 investment properties over the last 2 years, we strictly rent them out with section 8. 

The more that you talk the more potential buyers see what they are dealing with.Lori you purchased a property that was occupied.

@John Lasher If you are still looking to spend $20k-$30K for a coach, I would be happy to take you up on that offer :) For full disclosure,  I will share with you precisely what you can learn online/ perhaps even entirely through these BiggerPockets Forums but that doesn't address the reason why most are still unable to purchase larger assets: creditworthiness and capital relationships.

Being able to purchase a property with only 5% down means you can leverage your money way more effectively.

I have 23 properties in Kenosha and earlier this year purchased two duplexes in Racine.

But I purchased land in cash and leveraged it to build a new construction stick built home.

Purchase price: $90,000 Cash invested: $15,000 What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Obviously if I intend to have a top performing STR in this market, my buy box will allow for a much higher max purchase price, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with shooting for the max if there aren't clear ways to beat these competing properties.
