To me, I want a market where the value add generates maximum return. 

However, it’s important to ensure the seller is comfortable with the terms and that the property cash flow can support the agreed-upon monthly payments.Seller financing can be a good strategy to grow your portfolio with less initial capital, especially if you're able to increase the property's value through improvements (forcing appreciation).

Any brokerage can be the right fit for you so long as you commit to taking initiative and putting in the work.By 'work', I mean income-producing activities (lead generation and follow-up) i.e. cold calling, door-knocking, contacting your sphere of influence, networking, hosting open houses, running online advertising, marketing (paper or online), or anything else that will get you in front of prospective clients.My first broker rarely answered my phone calls and by the time she responded, I'd often already have the answer I was looking for.

Initial negative equity position is $50k. $50k / $250 (cash flow) = 200 months (16 years) to recover the negative position.  

Quote from @Zachary Kessler: Hello all I’m currently hacking my house that has an ADU dwelling that generates income, I bought this property intending to leave and rent the house that I currently reside in (2 bed 1 bath) I currently have a very good interest rate locked in here from 2022 that I don’t want to lose or have my mortgage called due from leaving here, I live here for very cheap with the income from the ADU.

Most of my cold call leads convert to contracts within 60 - 120 days after we initially call them.

You can pre-screen them for free, then run the credit/criminal background only for those that pass your initial review so you're not wasting time.

I initially offered $200K in cash, but the seller countered at $240K.

If STRs become less profitable, you need to ensure the property can still generate positive cash flow with a traditional lease.
