It’s not about chaining yourself to a rigid model; it’s about giving yourself a reliable starting point, so when the next tempting deal in Phoenix’s midtown corridor pops up, you know it fits into your broader strategy rather than just hoping it’ll magically work out.At the end of the day, nobody’s going to knock on your door and hand you a neatly packaged portfolio.

Whether you’re looking at SFHs, duplexes, or other properties, it’s important to pair on-paper data with boots-on-the-ground knowledge to really get a sense of values.If you’re considering anything serious in Detroit, I’d recommend connecting with someone who knows the market inside and out.

What has been your strategy of success so far? 

@Peter W.From my experience, a second-home investment strategy works best when you meet lender conditions like owner occupancy and rental restrictions.

Rather than tearing down everyone, I’d rather focus on how different teaching styles and strategies might suit different investors' needs.When someone consistently promotes one product while criticizing others they haven't tried, it undermines the trust and authenticity that makes this forum valuable.I'm not trying to create conflict here, but as someone who has learned a lot from different educators in the land investing space, it is concerning when I see someone posting carefully disguised spam and trying to make it look like an unbiased review. 

I’ve seen many investors miss oppportunities when combining primary residence use with investment strategies, but you seem to have timed this perfectly.

I also reccomend lining up a contractro early, realy early, from what I’ve heard, so you can keep everything on schedule and budget.So now that you’ve tackled what most investors would call a major job, do you see yourself repeating a similar strategy.. or do you feel like branching out into something else?

I subscribe to the strategy to list a property to get the most attention to the listings.

Only flipping or other strategies too?

Then you are making that decision based on the data for the area and that unit..... not on who lives there already
