@Yael DoronIf you're working with a $150,000 budget and aiming for high ROI through rental income, consider nearby areas around Phoenix that still offer affordability and growth potential.

Since comps are limited, analyze similar nearby locations to estimate demand.When pitching investors, focus on a clear business case: expected income, expenses, occupancy, and ROI.

If you are in the CLT area and are looking to connect with othr like-minded individuals, I would love to grab a coffee with you!

Always happy to share market insights or discuss current opportunities over coffee!

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!

I'm wondering how anyone does it in this area, or maybe I just have not been looking for long enough.I really would like to purchase in my area as it would be my first rental property, and I am most familiar with the northern VA area If this is not to be, I also am wondering what markets nearby would be better.I’m also in Fairfax County, and you’re absolutely right: Fairfax County and much of Northern VA are tough markets for cash flow, especially starting out without a substantial down payment.

Consider me a friend in the charlotte market and let's grab coffee (there are many cute coffee shops here and I can tell you where to find the good texmex)

I’m looking to invest in nearby areas, focusing on fix-and-flip projects and new ground-up construction.

Pick a screening platform/application that makes sense for you.As for meeting the applicants, I recommend meeting them at the property to show the place to them rather than getting coffee or food with them.

There’s a smaller hospital nearby and a large one the city up but I don’t think the nearby ones cover the point you’re making.
