There's certainly been an uptick in available properties over the last few years as some owners have grown tired, new construction is booming in new lots and ones that were lost in fires, & investors who bought in 2020-2022 who may've overpaid and weren't properly set up are struggling.

I am tired of living the rat race and now I'm in a mindset where I am okay taking risks to jump into real estate investing.

Engage an investor-focused realtor/broker in your preferred market (this is not a residential realtor) and start 'tire kicking' the market and properties that fit your criteria.

I'm sure you guys are tired and ready to be finished.

I manage the property and the tenants, pay the owner of the property a rent that meets their mortgage plus a little profit, charge fair market rent from the tenants I sublet to, and exercise an option to buy the property after a predefined term and at a predefined price.This way tired landlords don't have to manage their property anymore, and I start investing with little to no money.

I don't really want to get into another project until next year anyway (I'm tired lol).

If someone isn’t willing to provide ID, they are not a serious applicant and possibly a scammer, so it’s a good screening tool to weed out the tire-kickers and sketch balls.

I am the opposite I have never bought new tires for a car in the last 20 plus years except for my Porsche which chews them up. and my model X Tesla which weighs a ton.. when i need new tires I get a new car :)  PS when the clutch went out on the Porsche at 25k miles and out of warranty it was 5k to fix it..

So the ad stipulation just weeds out the tire kickers. 

I’ve watched clients reinvest capital from a tired old rental in one part of the country into vibrant, up-and-coming areas like certain pockets of Austin and San Antonio.
