@Patricia Andriolo-Bull That is an amazing approach and plan..Congrats!!

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Good afternoon allJust for general discussion.....and I know there is a lot of information not given....I was discussing with several colleagues at a recent investor meet up, on their thoughts on best practice/method to acquire another property management company in our geographic location.We were approached by another management company who's owner wanted to retire and presented us with an offer.Original discussions with the other management company(seller) had them wanting a one time payout, say $100,000.

@MichaelFacebook groups are good too if approached with cautionExamplehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/RealEstateMemphis/https://www.facebook.com/groups/MemphisRealEstateInvestors/

These platforms ensure that you obtain legally binding electronic signatures for the release of information forms as part of the application process.In practice, while some landlords might accept pay stubs at face value, your approach to verifying employment directly is prudent, especially given the ease of falsifying documents with today's technology.

However, some investors are comfortable with this approach, especially if they prefer to limit their initial capital and plan to refinance a few years after purchase—particularly as discussions about the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates into 2025 continue.Ultimately, successful investing hinges on selecting a growing market, a desirable neighborhood, and assembling a strong support team.

I wanted to introduce myself as I am incredibly anxious to step foot into the incredible world of REI and would love to know if there are any local investors that meet/would like to meet on a semi-regular basis.I currently have a full time job in outside sales in the Arvada area so I do a lot of driving around which enables me to spend a lot of my time listening to podcasts and educating myself but I would love to get to know some players within my local area to really dive deep into the subject and in which I could potentially be of value in the future.

You’ve made some compelling points about the market and your approach.

Dealing with challenging individuals can be frustrating, but it’s essential to approach the situation professionally.
