I benefitted from rent inflation, but I also did some things that would help improve net cash flow (appealing property taxes, for example).Happy to send you some resources with more details on how I accomplished it.

One of the biggest mistakes an investor can make when deciding to take the plunge and start spending money on Google Ads is targeting the WRONG keywords.It’s true that one way to use keyword targeting is through “broad” keyword types, which are usually less expensive and can capture various keywords you might not have considered in advance.

My target purchase price is no more than $410K, aiming for an ARV in the $530K to $570K range.I'm comfortable with small to medium-sized renovations that don't require major structural changes or additional square footage.

You’re targeting an investor and an entrepreneur, both of whom want to “pay below market”.

Current State: Knowing the neighborhood(s) we target, and having driven them (regularly) I have a pretty decent list of "looks distressed" properties.

In the past, the Department of HUD targeted S8 rents to be at the lower end of a rental market.

Of course I don't know what you have, but typically what I see is probably better to sell it and maybe buy two in Someplace like Sherman if your resources allow that.

There's a ton of resources and information available and I'm looking forward to getting started.

Hi Michael,Welcome to the community- There are a lot of good professionals and resources here on bigger pockets to learn and grow. 

Your CPA is the best resource for guiding you through this decision.
