Take actionIf I were you I would take the next 90 days and network to prospect the best players for your team! 

There are players that you may want to deal with in the future that may be concerned that you would slander them from the rooftops over the slightest of offensives. 

Since you asked so "nicely":Why does everyone want to chase strangers – and ignore their own personal network?

A lot of people chase cash flow, but the reality is that even if you just break even while renting it, you'll still be making money through appreciation, depreciation, and loan paydown.

My wife Andrea own over 100 rental properties in Metro-Detroit...We chased this 16 unit down for TWO YEARS before finally getting the owner to sell it to us back in 2022.It had A LOT of work that needed to be done:- Tenants weren't paying rent on time or at all.- Units were completely outdated and had deferred maintenace.- It needed a community face lift and re-brand (was called windmill apartments....yuck.)We came in and strategically worked our business plan:- We upgraded the exterior including fresh paint, signage, and landscaping.- We removed delinquent tenants and changed the community standards around to provide a safe and clean place of living.- We've upgraded 75% of the units with fresh flooring, paint, cabinets, countertops, and appliances as needed.When we took over the property the 16 units were producing around $9000/month in gross rent.I just checked our rent roll today, and we just crossed $17,000 in gross income monthly!

my apologies for the double post..didn’t think the first one was posted Hi all,A little introduction...I am currently a professional soccer player for the Vancovuer Whitecaps of the MLS in my seventh season.I have spent the last couple of months reading and researching real estate investing.

Get to know the players, the people and the areas where to invest and not to invest.2.

No system is perfect, so don't waste your time chasing after the next shiny object.

It's always a safe strategy to buy a better property in a better neighborhood than just chasing cash flow that is not even guaranteed or buying in class C and D just to cash flow. 

We all start out chasing cash flow, but once you hang on to a property long enough to watch it appreciate by 50-100-150k, you realize that appreciation is the game.
