Would love to hear people’s suggestions or thoughts. everyone’s so amazing in their responses and I really appreciate everyone’s thoughtful feedback!  

A majority of people who rent homes here have 100% equity in them so any rent will cash flow. 

I tell people all the time: if you can't find a quality PM in a market, don't invest in that market!

Curious to see what feedback people who have used them have though. 

I think because I've been learning about it so much and talking to so many people, I'm in a state of analysis paralysis and I just need to pick a good deal and go with it with the team that I form.

How many people are in your “sphere of influence” that will use you to buy or sell without needing to pay for marketing? 

I've gotten deals and formed partnerships through some very unorthodox connections over the years.To answer your question, it will always depend on the specifics of the deal in front of me but in general I'd still prefer value-add.

I made some really good connections and now the rest is history. 

A buyer I connected with through Bigger Pockets actually.

I've seen people buy so many units that they burn out trying to juggle maintenance, tenants, turnovers, etc.
