BP has done such a great job of promoting SFR investing to the masses, that those masses have pushed up real estate prices to where it's now DIFFICULT to cashflow right away.Keep going, but understand you won't get rich in real estate overnight - it's a long-term wealth building strategy.For the short-term, recommend joining a few in-person investor meetings if possible, otherwise online ones.

I cannot understand why its so expensive.I've worked in real estate for years. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.DM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

The market here offers a lot of potential.I highly recommend making a trip here to get a feel for the different neighborhoods and understand where the best opportunities lie.

I've never done one personally but my understanding is it involves the home being put into a trust, with the sub2 purchaser buying the trust from you.

Research the area's nuances, understand BRRRR financing strategy, network with local investors, analyze potential deals, use VA loans wisely, explore financing options, and network through investor groups.

@Adedayo Adetunji understand your frustration with the situation!

while I totally understand the frustration especially purchasing what was supposed to be a new and ready to go asset, but these things are pretty common so don't feel to discouraged. 

@Shakthi Kamal read copy and paste advice below.For cashflow, you'll be looking at mostly Class C properties/tenants.Be SURE you UNDERSTAND what this means or your expectations won't match reality!

And, I think most women would choose a midwife that has gone through pregnancy.Like the OBGYN situation, there is a lot a CPA may not know about the rental business from debiting and crediting some journals and filling out line 242 on some Turbo Tax input form.And, understanding the operating details of the rental business are just as different from preparing a tax return as being pregnant is from delivering a baby.
