A more realistic expectation is 24 hours which will ensure we can arrange any repairs or corrections with a team, handle it in person, etc. be curious how this plays out as I worked for local developer for a while and developed several properties in Alexandria (Specifically old town) and while the city is challenging like any city - they were mostly realistic.

You have to tell people if a toy is broken, missing pieces, or might explode when played with.

The play is that rather than having to wait until the foreclosure process is completed, the investor can rent out the property (and earn a return - after rehabbing it, of course) during the process.

Based on some of the research done, I am inclined towards starting out with a small multi family investment property (2-4 multi family home).

(aside from the 1 or 2 homes that have stunning overlook views).When building out your buy box, are you all using the averages, or are you basing your min/max on the cream of the crop listing revenues, even when there aren't clear reasons as to why they are performing so much better than others?

I am based out of Westchester County, NY, looking to invest in multifamily properties.  

Exactly 1 year later my first tenant moved his family in where his kids and dog can play in the massive yard while raising 2 cows in the barn.

I adjust pricing based on demand, like raising rates during peak season or local events, and lowering them in slower months to stay competitive.

I’m a full-time sales professional at a global GSI, so I’m seeking relatively efficient strategies.Has anyone successfully used cash-out refinances, 1031 exchanges, or other equity-based approaches to boost income?

I do not wish to divulge that here simply because I don't want the thieves to know how I play my hand.
