I am not affiliated with Property Radar but we do use them and for this kind of service I think they are best in class.

I do this because sellers are going to offer 3% (they are in my market), and if I signed for less, I could not get the overage.To secure my buyers in this new environment, I made a 27-minute video going through the whole agreement and pointing out the things to beware of.

You're absolutely right, creativity is essential to make deals work in this environment, and building from the ground up, especially in high-demand areas like Raleigh, can be a great solution.Your current project sounds like a smart move, particularly with the zoning for a duplex and ADUs.

After visiting these States, I just didn't see the benefit of investing in $200,000 in a B- class neighborhood in Ohio, which is a 5 hour flight away, when I could maybe invest a similar amount  in the California Central Valley in a C class neighborhood that I could drive to when needed.

Remove those and the Net S8 Rent will be market rent.Typically, the only way to get more than market rent is by buying in Class D areas and hoping a S8 tenant will live there instead of a Class C area.Keep in Mind: TENANTS QUALIFY FOR SECTION 8 FOR A REASON!

New neighborhood which seems like will end up as class B. 3 bed, 2 bath.

@Saurabh Kukreja we don't recommend investing via zip codes - too broad of an area.We've mapped out all of Metro Detroit and categorized Cities & Neighborhoods by Class A, B, C, & D.We take assisting investors very seriously, just read below:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?
