I work with a really fantastic home inspector.

I would caution on comparing these returns to the S&P 500.Real estate has been pretty much flat the last 2-3 years while the S&P has been on a great run.It's human nature to sell the lows and buy the tops.

Sending follow-ups every 4–6 weeks can keep you top of mind when the owner is ready to sell.

On top of that - you're simply creating a new job for yourself when it comes to rehabbing, managing, generating leads, analyzing deals, making offers etc - so now you have to scale and outsource responsibility.

You would go to meetup.com and search, and also you can go to the top tool bar and search events as well on BP.Meetups, search for large teams working with investors in your area (you can do this on Zillow) or on this website.

Hi @Turgut OzMaybe check for a Tax Pro at the top of this page?

Starting in the greater Richmond area is a fantastic choice, as it's known for its mix of historic charm, affordability, and a growing market. 

Outsourcing the 3000 would cost me .277 more per piece but that doesn't take into account my time, wear and tear on my equipment, 3 trips to the post office, making a total mess of my office, etc.Put another way, knowing I can only do about 40 per hour tops times the .277 per piece I save by doing it myself, comes out to $11.08 an hour.  

At only -700k population, it has the lowest unemployment of any top 25 city, and those folks need homes.

If you’re in that cash position I mentioned above, then we might be a good fit to get on a call so I can show our process which is complete: 1) finding and buying the right property 2) creating a top product from that purchase with a world-class designer on my team 3) co-hosting/managing that property at a discount for clients to ensure you get more money and have a product that lasts.you can also follow me on IG @tampa.rei , I’m actually about to post a walkthrough of a property that was being managed by one of the most popular PMs in the country and in just 1 yr you’ll laugh to see what state the property is in from poor management!
