Securing funding has been challenging, particularly because my business documents reflect low revenue from only one duplex, and I am currently between jobs.I have identified a reasonably priced piece of land and have saved a small portion of the funds from my duplex sale to invest in this venture.

I own both rentals directly and involved in a syndication.

Melisa Justice, and she helped me navigate the entire Journey, it was a process not too long, it took about a month, and the process would have been definitely very hard being that I was on a different state by Melissa made it a lot smother, she was very responsive to all my questions (and I had a lot of questions), she helped me find a lender that would fit better for my financial situation, once I was pre-approved she connected me with the right property inspectors, and all through out the process she kept in touch pointing me the right direction all the way until closing day, all this to say I Definitely recommend her for any body the is finally ready to take the plunge and get started with their real estate carrier, I definitely will get in touch with her when I'm ready to buy my next property!

I am considering purchasing in Lower Dimond and any of the directly adjacent neighborhoods.

To date, I don't prefer to work with contractors directly as an OOS investor. 

Section 8 income is NOT guaranteed - only a portion is.

Many of my Investors Friends(Hope this Helps):Look at secondhand furnishing—OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, and local resale shops can have great finds at a fraction of the cost.Check clearance and scratch-and-dent sections—Appliance stores, furniture outlets, and big-box retailers often have steep discounts on slightly imperfect items.Buy in bulk—Places like Costco and Wayfair offer deals if you’re furnishing an entire unit.Time your purchases—Major sales (Memorial Day, Labor Day, Black Friday) can save thousands.Estate Sales: One strategy that’s worked well for us is reaching out directly to heirs of properties where the owner has passed away.

Direct investment, not a REIT. 

DM me, and I’ll point you in the right direction!

If you bring it to their attention, they might move it to auction faster.Go direct to the owner – If they’ve been sitting on unpaid taxes for years but haven’t been foreclosed on yet, they’re probably in some kind of financial distress.
