I’d be happy to connect and go over what I see my clients doing and what’s working, and what strategies are dead ends here. 

Currently it’s slow season and it’s even slower than usual from what I understand.We are thinking about how to build demand through targeted marketing strategies.

After watching some of the podcasts and reading posts I am set on starting my real estate journey utilizing the house hacking strategy.

@Tyler Speelman Your strategy to assist your sibling with a down payment while minimizing tax liability is creative but comes with complexities.

While the current conditions may feel challenging, they also present opportunities to fine-tune your strategy and stand out in a crowded market.Are you experiencing these trends in your portfolio?

If you are out there driving for dollars and getting leads, than that’s definitely the strongest strategy for getting the best deals… it just takes time that not all have.

they said around 90% of market value.I tried to get them to understand that this property needs a LOT of work, almost a full gut, some holes in walls (small) old carpet needs to be ripped up, i mean like the works on this thing, you can prob get away with touching up the kitchen since its real hardwood and the bathrooms as well but this prop needs at least 80k.Found out owner actually owes 140k on property, and zillow is zestimating it to be 127k.

I'd underwrite the property, with that low interest rate assumable mortgage, to cash flow positively from day 1 as a long-term rental, but be willing and able to use the rent by the room strategy or to rent out part of the property as a Short Term Rental to dramatically increase cash flow during my occupancy. 

Like a calculator to simulate this strategy (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/61/topics/795487-retire...), maybe showing how much equity could be pulled out of which property when, whether the portfolio would still cash flow, etc.

What type of investment strategy do you focus on?
