Bruce, I 100% agree that knowledge can be acquired almost for free these days.

I am a beginner real estate investor and I currently have 1 duplex. I am currently working on buying my next property. I will move out of my existing unit and into the new one. My question is, for the unit I am moving...

I'm particularly passionate about home flips and trying to acquire some rentalsOutside of real estate, I enjoy working out, construction, and spending time with familyExcited to learn and connect with you all!

I seeking to acquire a 16 unit apartment complex.  

After 25+ years of acquiring and managing our rental properties,  the "compelling reason" to sell is just freedom, peace of mind, reduced liability, and guaranteed income from an annuity. 

Acquired for $93,000, with only $993 allocated for renovations and a resale value of $150,220, the property offered excellent profit margins.

The BRRRR strategy is also well-suited, allowing investors to acquire, renovate, rent, and refinance properties, capitalizing on the area's affordable prices, high rental demand, and potential for forced appreciation.Fix-and-Flip vs.

Acquired for $155,000, with only $3,000 allocated for renovations and a resale value of $180,000, the property offered excellent profit margins.

Success usually is a combination in varying amounts of hard work, good decisions, and a some luck.When arbitrage comes up on here, as it often does, I am usually "gloom and doom" playing devils advocate because the OP is usually on an emotional high from watching a YouTube video about making 6 figures overnight doing arbitrage.I started my business in 2016 with a high end arbitrage, then began acquiring my own, and lastly into management. 

I currently have one property under contract, and actively acquiring more.
