My only remark to make is really focus on quality locations next time.

Tyler,Within my 20 years of experience as a landlord, if I had $150k and good credit, I’d focus on either flips for fast capital or rentals for long-term cash flow—trying both at once can slow you down.

Specifically for us, we focus on the outskirts of Orlando.

I’d recommend focusing on building connections in Denver, exploring local markets, and considering strategies like house hacking or buy-and-hold investments to help you reach your goal of becoming a millionaire by 2027.Good luck!

Quote from @Devin James: When running numbers on an investment property, I focus more on equity growth than monthly cash flow.Here’s why:If I can acquire a property at a low basis and add significant value, I can: 1) Sell and reinvest elsewhere 2) Cash-out refinance to recapture my investment.

For the most part vs focusing on a specific neighborhood or two I would say keep you options open to all. 

It’s great to hear that you’re already working on a project to expand opportunities for real estate investors—that’s a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the field.As you dive deeper, here are a few things you’ll want to focus on to better understand how real estate investors analyze deals and make decisions:1.

I think if anyone chose to focus on inbound crews and create parking like you said, as well as crew amenities (large dining areas, etc), they would be booked year-round and in-demand.

-- We focus on verifying 2-year work history and verifying rent payments with last 2 landlords (unless in same property for 5+ years).3) MoveIn Specials: be careful with offering "free rent" as will just attract tenants with no cash.-- Try free TV or something else worth 25-50% of one month of rent.-- Or, what we do is offer the free rent AFTER & ONLY if they pay their first 3 months of rent on time to earn it.4) Lower the rent 5% every 2-4 weeks until activity picks up.5) Understand this is the worst time of year to find tenants.-- Starts picking back up end of February when this tenant pool starts getting their income tax refunds and aren't broke anymore.6) Section 8: where is the property being advertised?

Since comps are limited, analyze similar nearby locations to estimate demand.When pitching investors, focus on a clear business case: expected income, expenses, occupancy, and ROI.
