Yeah, I would go with a local credit union or bank - they have the best deals. 

Lastly, the price point is still very cheap here in the sense that you can still find investment deals that hit the 1% rule for 120-180k!

Hey Jeff without knowing any details everything is what you are able negotiate. but you have to take in account the years interest rate and purchase price and what kind of cash flow.I will say get a mentor if you’re inexperienced these kind of deals can go left if you really have little knowledge when it comes to structure .

I’m diving into real estate investing with a focus on rental properties, and I’m looking to connect with like-minded investors, lenders, and partners.A little about me:•I’m currently working on securing my first rental property and seeking a strategic partnership with an investor willing to fund the deal while I handle the operations.

I don't know about you but I am constantly on the hunt for consistency, consistency of income, of deals, of productivity, in my relationships...so that's my focus in all things not just real estate.So my vision to your question is a a state of total consistency of income and deals.I'm focused on the basics, which to drive me is even more specifically "making offers."  

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

Note, this is from direct experience.It might be wise to also consider selling since home prices are slightly up in the past 2 years. 

There are good deals in all of them

I think the first place to start is evaluating quality deals.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
