Quote from @Simon Girmay: Hi Everyone,New to investing as I don't have any properties under my belt yet, but the goal is to have something by the middle of 2025.

I've had great success househacking in the past, including my current home where I rent out a garage apartment, but I'm having trouble finding a property in Vegas where it makes sense.

I've got properties in (2) towns currently that are around 10k people in each town.

This then would allow you to look at a property 1500sf 3/2 with the same rehab as a property in the same condition that you got a bid for 1-4 weeks ago..

If the property can service the debt at 90% leverage between a senior 1st and the seller second, you're looking at a good investment!

Purchase price: $115,000 Cash invested: $42,000 Sale price: $168,000 Unfortunately, we bought this property as a buy and hold property, and our research led us to believe that this neighborhood was up and coming not in a bad area of Jacksonville.

Expanding Seller Targeting – Reaching the Right PeopleInstead of focusing on one seller type at a time, we stacked multiple high-motivation lists:✔️ Absentee Owners – Often ready to sell✔️ Pre-Foreclosures – Urgent need for fast cash sales✔️ Tired Landlords – Burnt out from rental headaches✔️ No HOA Properties – Easier for investors to flip or rentBy broadening our reach while tailoring messaging per seller type, we ensured a steady flow of highly motivated leads.2.

Looking to possibly start investing with some whole sale properties and land.

Purchase price: $550,000 Cash invested: $145,000 Sale price: $915,000 This was a home run for a long term (5 years) buy & hold investment property (I specialize in this area). - Initial investment of $145K (DP+closing)- It had one tenant for 5 years and 3 months (no turnover), and the tenant paid off the mortgage and expenses in those 5 years.- I spent around $30K to do upgrades before selling.- Sold it for $915K after 5.5 years (received $442K at the closing)- Did 1031 exchange and bought 8 SFH in NE & AL worth of 1.6M (brings $4k/months income now) What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Hi Shelby To determine rental prices and demand in a neighborhood, start by researching comparable rentals in the area, focusing on properties of similar size, type, and amenities.
