Here’s why this market is so ripe:1️⃣ Mom-and-Pop Sell-Offs at Huge DiscountsA lot of these properties have been in the same family for decades, but now the kids aren’t interested in taking over the business or the real estate.

I started off doing long distance BRRRRs until the rates went up.

A property is available off market that seems to be a great deal.

But if this is a one-off, it's probably better to pay a local co-host who already has the local connections.Talk to @J.

And if you can sell a property that had say a $100K basis and buy a property for $200K then you've doubled your basis and your write off. 

I personally like the BRRRR strategy - it's not easy to pull off but it's simple and it works in theory. 

Off market deal from a previous listing a year prior.

So, with that being said, market cooled off for sure the last few months in our area.

You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).

If you ever want to get together for coffee and bounce ideas off of each other from one newbie to another, let me know!
