Well i have been working full time as a door man since i was 18 also doing a bit of construction on the side , since that age i have been saving and strategizing a way to get my first property.

There is always competition in anything you do, even flipping houses, but it is how you strategically position and operate your business within your target market which determines your success.  

Distribute the property to members, strategically the ones with the highest basis, and recognize a taxable sale.

Our goal is to find the ones that need 1 day to 2 weeks worth of rehab to get rent ready.Also you will notice this isn't HGTV world where you overdo all the rehab and make no money (heh haha)This is strategic reno to get in get out , not take on huge cap x.We will pay a premium for a new roof and new boiler so that we can do rent ready reno and get cash flowing with a solid SFR that will cash flow for years without a capx surprise in 3 years.Also, we know when we have 1 day to 3 years left on a roof.  

I'm renting current places at $995-$1100 now and raised rents on a few low apts that are around $800 (raised them $50) most tenants are at around $875, to anyone that's had to do a rehaul on tenants and long term rents how would you guys strategize the raises?

It helps gauge (probably) how fast it will sell in that area.All of these questions help formulate a strategy that will help protect you.

So this is the path I've chosen to follow up to and including being part of my retirement.I believe that networking and gathering real life experience from doing work myself along with following other's guidance (who have been there/done that) will garner me more knowledge and success than paying "gurus" thousand of dollars for bus trips through a city and region I already know well.I am still formulating a 5 year plan (yes, they are passe now a days but I'm old school) and I feel the first steps would be to connect with other REI's, join the local REI Groups and begin growing my network.Any guidance, advice and suggestions from this point forward will be greatly appreciated!

My main interest is to buy and flip in Northern NJ, and develop strategic areas to apply Brandon's Brrrr strategy.I am looking forward to developing lasting business and personal relationships other like minded BP members!

If I can make strategic investments and get rents up to 2850, then the net without vacancy or cap ex would be 582.
