Networking is also crucial for success in real estate, so look for local investor meetups or connect with others online.

I think that's true of investment properties too.. the worse the area (which of course comes with riskier tenants, more maintenance, and vacancies) the better the numbers look in theory in terms of "cash flow"...

Of course we are the largest brokerage by agent count also. 

Of course it's possible.

@Nathan BrooksI am not local to Richmond, but have several clients who work in that market.Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Im open to conventional financing or seller financing.To find properties, you can network with local agents and brokers, join local real estate investment groups, use online platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, send direct mail campaigns, drive for dollars, network with property managers, and explore seller financing.Good luck!

Of course then covid pushed rates even lower, which of course because no one wanted to borrow money with that kind of uncertainty.   

Hi Max, it all depends on how much liquid cash you have of course. 

Ideally, I’m looking for buyers who can offer fair deals and make the process smooth.If you’ve sold owner-financed notes before, I’d love to hear about your experience—any tips or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated!

I would also keep in mind that very often it is not so much the decision itself but the decision maker that determines the success of a course of action.
