How I would go about it is bring a deal to someone ( a friend or colleague) that I knew had money, offer them the terms I have in mind and continue until I find one.

The Phoenix real estate market remains strong and is expected to continue growing in the coming years.This is what my research showed me about the market, but two things should be duly noted here.

Alternatively, should I focus on making minor upgrades to the rental property to increase the rent and continue holding it, considering the neighborhood’s growth potential?

Be ready for continuous learning and remember that networking is essential in this industry.

I appreciate any feedback as I continue to do my research.

As for the areas to target, my goal in getting our feet wet as real estate investors--and since we plan to be living in Sac--is to find a property we can live in while renting out one or more units to help cover our housing expenses, which we can then hold and continue to rent out when we move.

How bad is this going to continue to hold back the CRE market?

I have a job that also affords me a lot of spare time in my schedule and I'm looking to use that time to begin/continue/grow a real estate portfolio.

We are continuing to do regular flips and wholesale deals,  4 new builds this year.

Are you looking to continue doing the BRRR method or branching out?
