It would be better to get a place with a lease ending soon, or a month to month so you can control the income quicker.Chat GPT can help you calculate everything pretty quickly, and you can use Redfin, or realtor.com to estimate rents/prices.  

I see too often investors just want cash flow and they'll end up in not the best parts of town.

Give them notice that their lease will end and you expect them out by a specific date/time.

We are firmly in the performing note camp and spend only a handful of hours on each loan from beginning to end.

I have built in the past and I do not understand how anyone can build a house for 250k that will last.As an agent I focus on high end relocation clients and many are positively surprised by the build quality compared to the south.

I believe this is what they call a pier and beam foundation which I have no experience with so I have no idea what it would cost to fix. 

We are also interested in knowing people's experiences utilizing tax strategists. 

I’m a serial entrepreneur with experience in the tech and food distribution industries, now diving into real estate investment to build cash flow and long-term equity.

They tend to have less experience, less knowledge, fewer resources, and are more likely to be crooked than a large company that's been around for 30 years.

Any insights, experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
