Final update.Project completed.Rented and Refi, this project as I mentioned is the first out of town investment we've purchased, I have uploaded final pictures I hope you like it.the deal when well, I had to leave more money in the deal that I wanted but over all a great experience, because we started with the BRRRR we fined contractors right away and we felt confidante and that give us the push we needed to purchase more, so now we are proud the report that we have 3 properties (4 doors, 1 duplex 2 houses) that all are rented and cash flowing well, and also one more under contract!!!!

Be careful out there....some of the new builds are not comparable to the old builds....many of the newer ones are all siding, no brick, no light fixtures or ceiling fans...just LED recessed lighting...no doorbell, no garage door opener, no attic stairs, one piece tubs, vs tiled baths, no landscaping, no trees, and on and on....they've taken out virtually every single cost.   

I’m looking to start out and connect with others that are in my market as well as the surrounding smaller cities such as Sanford and rocky mount.I’m looking to finally get some doors of my own as well as maybe do a couple flips.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

Not via some crazy BS of soldiers coming door to door to confiscate or whatever no no no.

One of the hardest pieces in starting out is finding a mentor that is already doing what you want to do or are trying to do. 

Door knockingAs old-fashioned as it may sound, door-knocking is still a valuable strategy for finding off-market properties.

Maybe this is intentional and maybe it isn't, maybe what they would do is different than what you would do or envision.Also be aware that some deals are just recycled off MLS, so potentially you could have bought the same property for less, with less risk off MLS.   

Doors and WindowsInvestigate doors and windows for improper seals.

Some mentees will act as a bloodhound for the mentor, knocking on doors, driving for dollars, scouring the internet, making cold calls, or performing other services that help the mentor find new deals.
