In Dallas, investors are regularly getting deals around 70% to 74% (that is the purchase + rehab / ARV).

I've helped a lot of investors in your area, and I find that many of them end up purchasing rentals in the Central Valley for the very reason you mentioned.  

i want to be on a team and work with others and purchase subto deals.

What's the purchase price? 

Hello, I am new to the BiggerPockets forum and looking to purchase my first investment property this year.

Hi Tiffani, often new appliances that are "off brands" that you purchase come with a warranty and perform well plus they look new.  

I like the strategy of having a job with guaranteed income and taking advantage of owner occupied financing to purchase a house hack, staying connected with the REI community in the area, and scaling up from there.

I’ve been a member since November of 2024 and my review of Rent to Retirement was based on my experience purchasing a rental from out of state which went very well compared to other experiences I’ve had to go through.

Sandra For transparency purposes, I believe you meant to say that you purchased a turnkey property from Memphis Investment Properties, not Memphis Invest. 

You can increase returns with leverage (that is a mortgage) or with value add (renovations, additions etc).I think cap rates (rents minus expenses divided by purchase price) on commercial and industrial is higher with less work involved, but its more expensive than I can afford--so I know next to nothing about that land.
