This deal was brought us off-market by a friend.

Rented at $3,215 to a Section 8 Long-Term Tenant instead of a Long-Term Market Tenants for $2,400.

If looking to change the market value of property, well there you go. 

I would choose the strategy that best fits your strengths (unfair advantages) and what the market in your area demands.

Market Demand: Buyers love move-in-ready homes, and flips are often the most attractive properties on the market.

in a stick frame market and one of the cheapest markets to build we build with margin at $190 or so a square foot. that will go up over time about 5% or 10% a year to keep up with new build price increases. we are buidling a 3 story walk up and source some of the lowest priced crews.

I'm also concerned about the real estate market as a whole.

Most brokerages will pay around 25% of their commission when you refer a buyer/seller.

Engage an investor-focused realtor/broker in your preferred market (this is not a residential realtor) and start 'tire kicking' the market and properties that fit your criteria.

I’m looking to invest out of my home state, Texas, and have narrowed it down to 3 markets.
