The newest outdoor is still advertising 1st month free as they haven't filled up, and I spoke with the climate controlled owner/builder yesterday (he's a pretty big REI in the area), and he made it sound like he hadn't leased a single climate controlled unit since they opened a few weeks ago.I recently purchased a 140x45 warehouse with low ceilings and had debated doing self storage, but my market seems very saturated.

I recently purchased my first duplex in Peoria, AZ in September and I am using it as a house hack where I rent out one side and live in the other.

I have heard it used different ways.I have used a version of gap funding where the hard money lender funds 85% of the flip (purchase + renovation) and the gap funder funds 10% of the deal.

Most lenders are going to be limited to 70% of ARV ($560,000 total loan amount) but that means they could fund 85% or a bit higher of purchase price + rehab ($560,000/$645,000 = 86.8%), which is solid.

Even in those cases it is hard to create gap between purchase price, rehab and ARV.Investing in todays market is overall very challenging and I am finding that the BRRRR startegy is one of the worst strategies in todays market.Lets keep in mind that BRRRR became highly popular before 2020.

Purchase price: $145,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Fully renovated 4-5 bedroom ranch on 3.3 acres.

I’m a New York City native, but purchasing any type of real estate in this area is not realistic for me. 

I'm thinking I can get a nice purchase price if I under cut the banks by 1% and offer 15% required down as opposed to the traditional 20%.

I have purchased an off-market property from an investor who now wants to sell the rest of his portfolio.

I think instead, I'll just purchase what they call the "pre-protege" program.
