I have some properties in Abilene and have really enjoyed the market there.

The property has remained 100% occupied throughout my ownership and is on track to continue receiving market rents from both tenants.

Hopefully you are starting to see these investments as products and they have a set market price.

Raising money is all about marketing and sales (not real estate specific) so either hire marketing agency and read sales books, or hop on some LinkedIn courses on marketing and sales.Not sure the legal structure to use: talk to accountants and attorneys.Need deal flow: talk to brokers and go to a lot of networking events.Lending terms: start calling banks and loan brokers.From there, it is all risk mitigation. 

Way to many investors were buying properties for more then they were worth with hopes of collecting MUCH MORE than market rent.

Purchase price: $62,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Project in progress: Off market dealPurchase: $62,000Rehab: $60,000ARV: $165,000 What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Pushing into other, close-by, markets is the best (and maybe only) way to make it work.

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

Yes - and even when its out there its typically impossible to qualify (need high rate and high DSCR and typically would have to qualify as a LTR - so almost a unicorn or in a really bad market)

Do you have experience and know the cycles of your market so you know the best price?
