If the Zestimate were accurate, it would mean the chief of the biggest name in real estate and the recent co-author of a book about “The New Rules Of Real Estate” would have sold his home for 40 percent less than the Zestimate of $1.75 million shown on its property page a day later.

This is one of my first investments, a tax lien on a property in Syracuse, NY.

Our Tenants love the idea of the sprinkler system that's also fully alarmed & tied into our 1st responders & it's Fire Chief approved.To be honest if we do another complete rehab/flip especially on a multi I'd be inclined to add a sprinkler system.

We also pulled in the Fire Chief to give us a candid opinion.

And if you buy in Syracuse, Perry, Plain City or anywhere else in northern Utah (that isn't a 7000sf mistake with a swimming pool) you'll be fine.And definitely take @Bill Boudreau's advice and start coming to the REIA's where you will find off-market deals, wholesalers, and real estate agents who know how to help investors get properties even in this tight market.Good luck!

I’m a totally new investor that’s interested in BRRR method in the Syracuse NY area.

Looking to get new gutters on my property in Syracuse NY.

I actually went right to the told and got the chief of police, commissioner, and mayor of the city.

A lot of hard money lenders today are able to lend on  auction properties depending on the circumstances, but be forewarned there could be a number of issues such as your inability to see the interior and how much it may need or the homeowner may still be present and you may have to get an ejectment after purchasing.In short, I would strongly recommend not purchasing at auctions UNLESS you're going to make it a chief strategy of yours and really put in time learning the details, going to auctions and just watching how they unfold, etc.

Of course your not,  there are 250k of us who put up the big dollars  100.00 to get our place in line.. you grab one of these tri motors and then buy a Bowlus Road Chief and your styling all around the US living the camping life..
