I’m interested in purchasing an investment property with equity I’ve developed in my current home, however I’m concerned that if I have an issue renting out the new home it can blow up in my face.

Im a firm believer in purchasing rentals.

Deal 2: Duplex (older home that needs TLC in good location)Purchase price: 120k, Rehab 40k, Total all in: 180kExpected Rent: $2,400/month to $2,700/monthDeal 3: 5 Plex (is that even a word?

If they seem agreeable, then you can ask if they would prefer to cut the cost down the middle or would they prefer to purchase the supplies and you will assume the cost of labor to install it. 

We've sold 65+ homes and the biggest request we get from our Buyers is help with closing costs.Most of our deals we're providing anywhere between $5K-$10K to help Buyers offset the cash requirement to purchase a home.Even in today’s "high" interest rate environment, many Buyers prioritize closing cost assistance over an interest rate buydown.

I understand some of the economic factors that can lead one to a particular city or province (or state), but unsure of some of the key elements as you funnel down below that level.Appreciate any insight.Tyler 

You are interested in a certain market to use the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat) method to purchase property.To find these properties, you asked how many Realtors you would contact in that area.Honestly, most Realtors do not speak investor language and are not investors themselves.

Purchase price: $70,000 This was a 3 bed 1 bath that I paid for.

This allows you to purchase a place at 5% down and renovate as you need to.

Every house I have purchased was sold "as-is" (good opportunities) and had no bearing on the deal.
