So you could see about going to auctions and winning a "cheaper" bid on a property there, if you decide that's an option.

One wins, the other loses. 

That’s something I’m actively exploring—whether it’s through direct-to-seller marketing, networking with local wholesalers, or even tapping into connections through my brother-in-law, who works with builders and contractors in the area.I’m not expecting slam-dunk deals or easy wins, but the numbers on a few potential projects I’ve run so far seem to work under the assumption that I’ll leave some cash in the deals.

Some who are major players doing big stuff.

Sugar wins a lot more deals than vinegar.  

Or a bigger player like those. 

My damn, it's a lot less headache to sell, buy where you are and invest the proceeds somewhere else that is winning.

But, basically it's experience that wins the day.

It seems like a win-win, especially with the simplified approval process and flexibility for multi-generational housing.

Those stores go with whoever wins the cheapest contract.
