I’m happy to share tips about the area if you’re looking for neighborhoods to rent or cool places to visit while you’re here.

Hey Marshall, thanks for sharing this breakdown on SB 9—it’s a game-changer for California investors!

@Salome Ditmars In addition to what has already been shared on this thread, trusting the sponsor will be paramount to you sleeping at night, and I can't stress that enough.

The initial thought is you are probably charging too much if no one is interested, or your photos or description are bad.Four beds and only one bath probably reduces demand as well, that’s potentially a lot of people sharing one toilet.And it is winter - I’m in Buffalo, I hate listing rentals this time of year.

Examples could include:Partnering with other investors to share risk.Using seller financing or lease options.Leveraging creative rehab techniques to save on costs.Negotiating with contractors in a unique way to reduce expenses.I’d love to hear any stories, tips, or approaches that helped you pull off a deal others might have instantly passed on.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!

I’m happy to share more data if interested.

My priority was finding reliable mentors and peers who could help me learn the ropes, offer guidance, and even share insights about overcoming the unique challenges I was facing as a new agent and investor.Networking wasn’t easy at first.
