I don't know about you, but in 30 years I'd rather be sitting on a million-dollar asset that I own free and clear (because someone else paid it off for me) that is generating multiple, multiple times the rent I was collecting when I first acquired it and in which I can fill a vacancy with a qualified tenant within two weeks because the area is so desirable that it can't keep up with housing demand than on some boondocks asset that I only purchased because it was the cheapest thing around and "cash flowed" $200 per month on paper but barely appreciated over the years and whose rent appreciation has marginally kept up with inflation and takes me three months to fill a vacancy with a "qualified" tenant who even then might get behind on rent because his hours were cut at the gas station 30 miles away (true story; my tenant worked at a gas station in Boron--only job he could find).Personally, I'm keeping my 4-unit in Santa Clarita and investing in development deals and notes until an incredible off-market deal lands in my lap (keep dreaming, Logan) or the SoCal market cools.  

@Marco Y.When choosing inexpensive kitchen cabinets for your rental property, prioritize durability, ease of maintenance, and a neutral aesthetic that will appeal to a wide range of tenants.Like @Bruce Woodruff said, I would stay away from IKEA and RTA.Consider open shelving to cut costs. 

I have tried casting wide nets before, and personally have had better luck being more targeted. 

Reno and Tahoe have a wide range of prices and depending on your strategy the home prices will vary.  

Finding and funding your first deal is an exciting journey.When it comes to finding deals, a crucial step is identifying the right properties that meet your investment criteria, which can vary widely depending on your goals, the market you’re interested in, and your budget. 

Thank you. you can reverse engineering the process , most of these note company are regional or even city wide only, so someone that's offering loan in Alaska would not been able to provide the same in state of Florida for example, so there should be a license that's allowing those company. 

(incredible!)

And the income approach is not typically reliable, since 2-4 unit property rents typically vary widely, depending on many factors, and the grm's (gross rent multipliers) will reflect that, therefore, causing a wide range in values.

This is incredible Laura.
