However, for the last 5 years, we almost never went into an acquisition/disposition with that strategy as the goal.

Hey everyone,I’m curious to know what strategies have been most effective for you when it comes to finding consistent, high-quality deals.  

This strategy works much better either the lower price point homes.    

Research neighborhoods near colleges, government offices, and hospitals, explore FHA loans, conventional loans, house hacking strategies, and connect with local investors.Good luck!

I’m based in Colorado and have been investing here since early 2021, focusing on strategies like house hacking, rent-by-the-room setups, and flips.

If you are set on your strategy of just adding 3 more rentals then you should probably leverage your network of lenders and discuss best options with them to free up some cash for more investments.

I am willing to use strategies using a single family home (as there are more single families on the market at my budget), if anyone has any options for me I would appreciate an experienced investors input.

Both are strategies, it just depends on what you’re looking for now versus what you’re looking for later.

It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a potential deal, but skipping this step can lead to costly mistakes.Getting your real estate license is also a solid strategy just realize once you have a license wholesaling may not be in the cards as its a very gray area.Lastly, since you're planning to buy properties for yourself in 2026, start laying the groundwork now.

This is often more difficult to find but one strategy would be to talk with STR investors who are active in the market there.
