Definitely.Trying to go OOS for your first REI deal is a bit like trying to surf a monster 100 foot wave before you've learned to swim, or trying to ski a double black diamond for your very first run.Fortunately, there are simpler strategies that are much better suited for a first time RE investor (house hacking, specifically).

Minimum investment is 200k or more per deal and must be accredited.We go after larger properties because those under 3 million often do not have the diamond locations and a huge portion of buyers are all cash below 3 million.

It takes vision, focus, and hard work to take a diamond in the rough and see what the future can hold for it!

Again, I really don't think there's a wrong answer on this list, because I know people are moving to other TN markets too, but I feel like Chattanooga is one of those cities that's a diamond in the rough and hasn't reached the stage of being overgrown, like a lot of Nashville locals feel has happened to Nashville.

Has anyone bought the overages blue print by Bob Diamond?

It takes some time to go through the list but you can find a diamond in the ruff for sure and it’s not listed on MLS.  

Too me it was a diamond  in the rough needing plumbing , hvac , electric , wall and just about every thing else .

Different markets aside, if there are other hungry buyers out there and you have a diamond in the rough, then you gotta do what you gotta do.This is a very flexible arrangement in these situations.

I totally agree what you said, as a starter, not easy to find a diamond in nyc market.

I find "diamonds who are still coal" and work on them.
