PPI is the preferred measurement tracked by the Federal Reserve.But I loath merely tracking the inflation horse race like much of the media enjoys doing.

Also I am on the lookout on social media to see who is interested in our area and send them direct messages and offer direct booking.   

Get it under contract for a good price with a spread and assign it to the buyer so you can make money on the spread. 

If you merge funds with other investors or join an investment club, you can also invest small amounts in real estate syndications and funds, helping to spread out risk.

For us residential, it's the traditional lender that feels the pain.However as OP is thinking correctly, the gap or spread between riskless CD and equity investment is narrowing, maybe it's like 3% only at max.However, just think about if , if public interval debt fund like NICHX or Cliffwater can give me 8% why I do need to invest at multifamily equity. 

40k spread in ARV is a lot . max ARV will be 65% 

Hi Aaron, try to attend real estate networking events, join online forums, and connect with other investors through social media platforms like LinkedIn.

Expand your network and explore social media events.

Take advantage of social media to advertise your property.
