The best way to attract quality tenants is to buy quality properties.

Hi folks,I was on a routine walk  and noticed a dumbster placed in front of a house. I walked to the house and met a man who says he was cleaning out due to the loss of their mother in some few weeks back.The guy told...

Which do you think will be more competitive, buying from wholesalers or your own referrals?

Assuming the area checks out, I’d rather buy in a high price area that has little to no cash flow rather than an area that has cash flow but lower price.  

If you learn how to use Hard Money loans properly and how to find good deals in need of rehab, there are plenty of areas of the country where you could buy 3-4 rent properties in solid middle class areas with good cashflow.

If you buy an investment property with your IRA, most require a non-recourse loan.

Are you agent yourself and what makes you say that you'll avoid buying a home under 1000 sqaure feet again? 

And it sold for more because I was accessible and right there walking with them in their buying journey. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
