@Jason Xenakis I think you just have to analyze a lot of deals in your target areas so you get quick at doing the initial analysis on a property.

You also cannot act as a broker or advertise/represent yourself as a broker, without a license.

I usually receive a large bonus from work in late June so July 2025 is my target date to buy my first piece of property, although I realize opportunities may arise before then. 

recently heard that this area has a community developed, called Pradera Oaks (CR51/CANNON RD, Bonney, TX 77583), developed by Wan Bridge, advertised as affordable and has a big rent market and has the potential to appreciation.

No one ever achieves the advertised NOI, unless it's an absolute NNN lease or what they call a ground lease. 

the only way that would bother me is if it was a flip and it was going right back on the market then thats an issue.. if the property numbers still hit your target returns the 10k will be long forgotten 10 years from now when the property has been positive cash flow the whole time and has gone up 20 to 30% in value..

(Always remember that)I’d recommend diving into some BP forums, work with other agents (some of them, like my team have GREAT Off Market Opportunities) for distressed properties — there are also plenty of investors here who can offer insights and tips on improving offer terms, timing, and strategies.Remember that building a strong network of agents and wholesalers in your target market could be a GAME-CHANGER, helping you get ahead of deals before they even hit the market.Keep us updated on your journey!!

It would be nice to be able to search, for example, on properties where the mailing address differs from the property address or for properties tagged as non primary residences for targeted tired landlord marketing.

I am targeting college students.

Monetary inflation:The Federal Reserve (Fed) can increase the money supply by changing the target fed funds rate, buying Treasury securities or MBS (Mtg backed securities) to lower rates. increasing the money supply, which banks can then lend to consumers and businesses.Debt monetization.
