SFR will initially produce zero income (unless you rent rooms or until you move out.)typically investors that consistently buy multiple homes a year are experienced in the REI game with lots of connections and access to cash. not always. but more often than nothappy to discuss your investing goals more

There are certainly many hidden opportunities here, and having boots on the ground along with a great property manager is essential.For your first property, I recommend looking for something that will provide consistent cash flow and require low maintenance for at least the next 5-10 years.

My advice: focus on building a strong financial foundation first save consistently, manage your credit, and educate yourself on real estate fundamentals.

I have bought over 15 million and sold over 50 million of real estate in the Cleveland and Columbus, OH markets in the last 3 years and the vast majority comes from 1 - cold calling targeted areas consistently with good data2 - networking with agents, wholesalers and those who are consistently doing deals.

It sounds like the deal is more enticing and therefore more valuable if they can deliver a unit vacant.

Hi Aya,The value of the home will remain consistent with all other comparable homes completed in an appraisal. 

In my experience, you can consistently generate outsized returns once you can gauge which syndications are stretching to show a high projected return.  

I check them consistently, but not much changes and I feel like there must be some other way that people are buying and selling.

Why do I have to wait if I am only doing a rate and term refinancing.You typically need to wait six months before refinancing an investment property, even for a rate and term refinance, because lenders want to see a consistent payment history and assess the property's value over time.

This consistency reveals a valuable insight: once you identify where and what your target segment is currently renting, buy similar properties.
