People in Denver love outdoor space, and tend to have dogs -- so in that way I could outcompete a lot of MF operators flooding the market.

In situations like these, I tend to see more cash for keys.

Needless to say, I quit using online leads.I tend to be an introvert so I've never done cold calling or door knocking. 

Those tend to fall apart more easily or lead to a difficult escrow process.

I've heard they tend to be pricier than their competitors, but have shorter timelines due to the way they do project management.It might make sense if paying a premium for faster project completion fits into your business model.

“They kind of tend to use the term on the assumption that everybody already knew what it meant.”'

What Bruce says about new homes is accurate.New communities CCRs needs to be reviewed so you are not stack in a property that can't be rented out.ROI will be very los what I see in new communities is 10yrs in average, it will all depend on the time in the market.Another thing with new communities in those growing cities is that they are not investors friendly for LTR as the rent price tends to be lower than in other market.However there are plenty of opportunities in North Dallas, many other cities with growing population are great to invest.

Flip tend not to sit as long since there is such a need for affordable housing right now.

You probably know the pros but the drawbacks tend to be that placing tenants takes longer (sometimes 3-4 months) due to paperwork, inspections, etc. and tenants tend to be rougher on your property.Happy to discuss in more depth if you'd like. 

My biggest advantage is that once I understand a system or process, I tend to find a niche or unique inisght that can allow me to have an advantage.
