But if you/your team like to spend some time building your own flow, feel like it's better to build it on go high level directly. 

However, the road block I face is getting to a point where I think it’s an “ok” deal (meaning it’s not fulfilling the 1% rule, but more like 0.75% and little to no immediate renovation cost/typically a new build townhome) and then I start to question whether I could find a BETTER deal if I just keep looking.

Each area has its own rules on how it works, but basically, you buy the house, pay a deposit and agree to rehab the house within a certain amount of time.

An example might be a commercial tenant with 50% of the space in a building sends an after-letter notice that it now plans to vacate at the end of its lease term in 6 months.

And your net worth will thank you.If you still want to go ahead, you'd be better off buying a house than an apartment because, while the value of the building itself will go to 0, you'll still have the value of the land, bearing in mind that the land might actually lose value too given the depopulation and the yen depreciation.Sorry if I'm pooping a party but make sure you understand what you're getting into (which you're already doing by asking the forum) and then make the decision that's right for you according to your objectives.

Then as you build your portfolio look to hire a new Tax Accountant or CPA to match your growing needs.

In my market, which is a fairly economical place to build, I am friends with full time builders that are in their properties about $150k/door for construction level finishes.  

With the right strategy, it can become the foundation for building wealth.

I’m excited to learn from this community, share ideas, and build valuable connections.

Instead of platforms like Angi, try building relationships directly with contractors, architects, and developers.
