In Charleston SC I finally after two years was able to land an infill lot and we go vertical in december But there is just NO inventory there so I am not worried at all about selling that one..

You do all of your own due diligence on what to offer based on the data.

Well I moved to Oregon last year and just started networking with a few Realtors in the area learning which Counties are developing and looking for mixed use and small multifam opportunities.I'll be listing a ranchette in Santa Maria, CA in Jan 2025 before I make my final exit from CA!

@Heidi Fahringer wasted time doing several calls and then a meeting with a CPA and then got shocked with their proposed fee.After even more wasted time trying to find out from them why the fee was 10x what I had been paying - a lightbulb in my head finally lit up and I asked the revealing question and found they had a minimum charge.Obviously, we were not a fit.

Different platforms use varying data sources, algorithms, and criteria for comps, so discrepancies are common.

Its growth rate is intimidating, and my personal interpretation of the data is that the market is actually still undervalued. 

This is all public data, except for the rentometer estimated rents (which you should expect to mark up for being fully-furnished). 

My first attempts to get a loan ended in some pretty humbling experiences (getting laughed out of a couple of banks due to zero credit history).Fast forward to today, and after building up some credit, a stronger W-2, and a solid professional background, I’m finally back in West Palm Beach, Florida, looking to make my first deal happen.

Finally, are there any resources: podcasts, books, etc. that you'd recommend?

Finally, connecting with an experienced mentor in real estate can provide great guidance as you get started.
