I have not selected a specific property yet, but want to at least identify my potential investors.

Of the options you identified, the one that we used at the beginning was partnering - 4 people $25K a person  $100K total & then we used leverage to do Fix & Flips.  

Through this journey, I’ve built strong relationships and developed valuable expertise in:Researching micromarkets and identifying comparables, potencial Accurately estimating construction or remodeling costs.Securing fast and reliable financing through partnerships with two top hard money lenders in Texas, offering competitive rates.I’m on this platform to connect with capital partners who are seeking an annual ROI of 12%-15%.

Our community is actively identifying and investing in off-market deals, sharing the cost of virtual assistants and direct mail, sponsoring deals, investing our own capital, and having multiple group calls and webinars every week with institutional analysts, real estate and SEC attorneys, regional banks, private lenders, and other experts specifically to discuss and analyze deals within the community.

A slightly higher upfront cost in a better area will likely yield better tenants and less hassle over time.Investing in McKinney is a great decision, but working with someone local who understands the nuances of the DFW market can help you identify the best opportunities.

He does a lot of research using data analytics on markets, identifying growth areas, finding good neighborhoods and shares the data and his findings with interested people and clients.

How have you identified quality contractors and kept them on pace?

Our job is to rapidly identify, qualify and analyze all listings, tour the propsect as soon as possible and write workable and winnable offers.

By time your credit is straight  you should be a master at underwriting and have identified  a few properties  ypu think are suitable. 

I think what you're really asking is how to identify good value areas where rents may be trending upward but the prices still remain relatively lower.An important metric is tenant household income to rent ratio.
