Your first couple deals will be important, they will set the stage for your success.

If you’re in it for cash flow, you’ll likely find it difficult to find a deal that will pencil out.Besides, like @Jason Taken said, hundreds of thousands of new units have come online post-pandemic, so there’s a lot of new builds at the moment.

Success depends on the individual.

And for anyone that would like to work with us please reach out before you believe everything you see online.

- FYI: it's only illegal to try to rent it out, the property owner can usually legally live in a nonconforming basement unit.If you do all this you may still negatively cashflow each month, so make sure your income can cover and/or your cash reserves.If you do this successfully, you will learn more in 1-2 years than you would reading here on BP for 5+ years:)Good luck:)

We have a Chicago general contracting business, and handling the field operations is a ridiculously heavy lift.As far as finding customers I think you'll have some good success with gorillia marking at some of the local investor meetups. 

You will likely have trouble finding real estate listed online for that coast since it is really pre-development. 

Hope everyone has a great and successful 2025.  

Balancing both cash flow and appreciation is key to long-term success.

It's not easy, but all successful agents operate like a business with daily tasks to attract leads and follow through on those leads.
