Welcome to Bigger Pockets and love see local folks getting into real estate investing!

You are competing with local investors.

(One virtual and one local).   

Thank you@Brian Lubeck I believe you need to call the local DMV for where your trailers are located and go through the process for a replacement title.

Having reasonable expectations, hiring a local professional (Realtor or PM), doing your research, and doing everything right (i.e. pro photos, professional design, good renovation, proper amenities and location, etc) are the keys to success in 2025.

With all the negative comments and concerns over the houses not being completed per the contract dates, perhaps all the investors should speak to a local real estate attorney and see if they can get their money back or other concessions. 

Its market-ready condition and strong local demand made it ideal for a fast, profitable transaction, aligning perfectly with Partner Driven’s strategy of securing high-yield properties in promising locations.

I also saw your post on one of the local Buffalo facebook forums, and will caution you that you are going to get a WIDE variety of feedback from a WIDE variety of investors -- especially on that group! 

Thank youBest,SathishkumarI would potentially try starting out being a cohost in that local area or work for a cohost company .

You picked a great community to join.. have you checked out local comps to gauge the market vibe yet?
