It's really awesome to see, while I love the podcasts, it's great to have such great deep-dive information on specific topics all in one place.So this week, I'm wondering, what topic are you most eager to learn about before 2024 ends?

But the way I see it is that, in general, someone who is new to the business and is looking to break in and grow will have barriers that can likely drive them out of REI.If it were up to me, I would just let the market dictate the rents and it will find equilibrium on its own.

You should have someone local who can drive by to check on the property, respond to emergencies, conduct regular inspections, etc.

You take on the role of digging deep into their pro forma and grading it like a teacher instead of writing the paper yourself. 

You can still find properties that are well below what you’d see in New York, and with the right approach, the BRRRR model can work really well here.I get that being close enough to drive by is a big plus, but if you're open to a market a little further out, Detroit is worth a look.

🏘️💥 Experts say the lack of new housing, high rent-to-income ratios, and post-pandemic demand are driving this fierce competition.

There has been significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations (2 data centers), driving up property prices and job opportunities.

Save every penny you make, live with room mates, drive a beat up truck, house hack distressed properties and spend all of your spare time DIY rehabbing them.

You have to just commit to doing the lead generation 5-6 days a week (social posts, door knocking, talk to people you know, talk to people you don't know, host open houses for agents in your office, drive for FSBO's, etc) until you have planted so many "seeds" that they result in business.
