Many investors start their journey by diving into individual distressed property deals, but if you want to grow into a high-volume operation, it’s essential to change your mindset, strategy, and execution.

Hi everyone,Last week, I was pulling rent comps to prepare renewal offers using my typical process: starting on Ręntometēr or Rēntcast for a rough idea of recently removed comps, then manually researching on platforms like Zillow, Apartments.com, and Facebook Marketplace.

But to your point, a current project I’m about to start, I can tell you I had to push back on ARR as the comps used by lenders were entirely outside of what I’m bringing to market.

My only concern to look out for is that things can go 'rural' pretty quickly if you start venturing outside of town, and most lenders are going to put the brakes on financing if the appraisal lists the property as 'rural' (has to do with what they perceive as the availability of future tenants).Watertown, NY - It probably is as good as you believe, but the lending licensing is pretty tricky up there, so its just  bit more difficult to find lenders that operate up there.

It's the safest way to start and it's a guaranteed profit when you get the right deal!

I started in residential, had 6 units.

I will still use alt. lenders from time to time depending on the circumstances but I will also achieve similar LTC financing through traditional banks and when I go to my capital partners with a term sheet for 85% LTC through a traditional bank with a fully capitalized interest reserve, healthy contingency funds and soft costs built in and the real estate great, its far easier to raise capital because far less equity is required to fund the deal but this all starts with the quality of the real estate.

To give a little more detail, these houses are in 2 rows, 4 on each side, so the line starts at the public street line, does a U-turn at the end houses then back out to the street.
