A young population plus a growing industry makes for good long term investments, but unless you are really scaling the cashflow can be hit or miss. 

Whether it’s sprucing up a property with a few renovations or doing a full-scale flip, a good contractor can make all the difference.

They’ll be essential in helping you navigate challenges and scale efficiently.Since you’re planning for 2025, now’s a great time to start networking, analyzing deals, and learning about financing options (especially if you're a first time flipper..). 

Quote from @Ven Bud: After hearing to lot of bp episodes on negative cash flow, I have a question.I am currently living in my primary residence and planning to purchase an investment property, and obviously it is going to be a negative cashflow (bay area), but I am of the opinion that as long as the rent on the investment property is atleast going to be greater than my current primary residence mortgage it can still considered as positive cash flow investment.The investment property is going to be in a much better location (for office commute, bay area proximity) than my primary residence.

Best way to scale and build wealth is to 1031 exchange and I can help show you examples here in KC. 

The goal is to build confidence, learn, and set a solid foundation for scaling later.

Hello,I am a real estate investor located to Southeast MA, I own and manage a small portfolio of 23 units and am looking to expand and scale out of state as the returns and market have been quite difficult in my area: due to CAP Rates, specific building class I am looking to invest in, and rising interest rates/minimal inventory, as well as it would be nicer to be diversified and in a more landlord friendly state.  

I've identified a piece of land that is off market and able to be purchased, roughly 40 acres.

How do you actually know the purchase price others are paying and their margin?   

Your project may not have enough meat in the bone for syndication but if it scales, why now explore.Caveat: each avenue comes with its pros and cons.
