Casting a large net by utilizing wholesalers, MLS, direct relationships with agents to get deals BEFORE they hit the MLS, driving for dollars/door knocking, direct mail, etc. are all great avenues if done correctly.Knowing how to calculate the ARV and rehab costs is also essential to identifying a good deal and that goes with any area.

Cold calling is the most efficient but not easy (I run a call center that dials for investors), driving for dollars, mailers, etc.

According to the update, ODC thinks that the distribution has the potential to rise as they continue to drive occupancy, but they want to be conservative and keep the fund healthy.  

I drives me mad when agents claim "comission rates were always negotiable".

Inflation, for instance, can raise property prices, but this doesn't necessarily translate into a real increase in value when adjusted for the cost of living.Demand can also drive appreciation, but there are factors that could cause demand to decrease.

That will help narrow down the questions - if an investment you'll focus on the high tourist area with major airports flying in/out, good local transportation system, less than an hour drive from the airport, a low crime rate etc.If personal then you'll look for an environment that suits your taste (tropical, party central, secluded, dive-friendly, luxury, affordable etc).Almost every island I've visited has realtors from America who decided to setup shop there and help out-of-state investors purchase property.

Couple that with the lack of home building post GR and that's made a 1+1 combo equal 5.also in last 60 days, there're bunch of SFR funds liquidating their houses unsure why, but this month the top secret narrative that everyone already know is we are in GFC 2008 situation in CRE fantasy-land ; so it seems lot of funds in trouble and there're lot of redemption request from investors, maybe it's forced selling of the good performance asset to help recover the bad asset. 2024 is extremely interesting Jason, there're lot of factors that keep driving the dynamic of single family, and it's not employment per-se.  

Sometimes I would try to listen if Henry Washington was on but it's pretty brutal without Rob and David.It was funny I was driving the other day listening and I kept trying to find an episode with them and almost every single one had become someone else and I was like hmm...did I miss something?

I'm also a newbie and when it happened to me I was very stressed and the silence on their end was driving me crazy!

That in turn drives up other units.6.
