There are always opportunities in buying real estate, businesses, companies, etc., as long as you know (or think you know) what you are in for.

However, I believe this life-changing turn has been a blessing in disguise.In 2022, I had the opportunity to work with a skilled entrepreneur and together, we grew multiple businesses in Excavation, General Contracting, Inground Pool Installations, and Real Estate.

Looking to expand in the next few years to STR opportunities across the US and abroad.

I am late to your inquiry but wondered if you ever closed on that investment opportunity?

Please feel free to reach out if you have any advice, insights, or opportunities to share!

I am leaning on local first for my next investment, but not ruling out an out-of-market opportunity. 

Steps: you go under contact with the owner of the property, you assign the purchase and sale agreement to the end buyer, the end buyer closes, and you get paid the difference between the agreed-upon price between you and the owner and the intended purchase price of the end buyer. 

No, the seller is asking $725k which is the main opportunity I see to value add.

Are you looking to stay investing in Southern Cal or looking for opportunities out of state?
