Hey Lenders,I currently own 17 doors in Little rock and surrounding areas and i have about $530k in equity at current market price factoring in the appreciation at a sale price of $1.5 million and the loans are 5/20 at 8% or more.

What's surrounding the area?

I buy the worst property on the best street I can afford, then improve that property to the level of the surrounding properties.

If you can't afford it, don't buy it but the "Cashflow" strategy is like WWI trench warfare strategy in 2024.I have to disagree with your assessment of central Virginia - our properties cash flow very strongly and although they are less common than a few years ago I continue to see deals that will cash flow just fine in the counties surrounding Richmond.Cash flow is still the name of the game in risk mitigated real estate investing in 2024. 

I was surrounded by employees of the Fire Department in Beverly. 

I have no peers interested in what I am doing I really want to surround myself with like-minded individuals.

Most vacationers don't want to be stuffed like sardines on the beach and surrounding areas.3) Okaloosa Island is one of the ONLY beachfront resort areas on the Emerald Coast where there  are seven public beach access point with parking, restrooms, outdoor showers and picnic areas.

Makes sense because they are actually helping out disabled and injured people like veterans and such.But an ESA has a few ways around accepting them.....and as a matter of fact, the HUD has been cracking down because of the massive fraud surrounding this in the past.

Do your best to get it down to the level of the surrounding tile but don't be afraid to cheat and leave it a bit high, while short of being a toeknocker.

You will be surrounded by professionals on both the Seller and Buyer sides.
