Focus on neighborhoods with strong rental demand and growth potential.Also, make sure your numbers work—factor in all costs, including rehab and holding expenses, to stay under 70% of ARV.

I'm assuming there's lots of stuff out there that's way cheaper.I originally wanted to just buy a couple lists of 10k numbers each of targeted motivated sellers, and then hand them off to a VA company that will dial them, but I was told it'll be a much better business if I get proficient myself and then hire my own VA's and train them.

We bought the property seller-financed with power, a small bathroom/laundry building, a 40x60 metal shop building, an RV pad with 'full hookups' (power, water, septic) and not much else.  

Vacancy is often around 5%, particularly in high-demand markets, though this can vary by location.

Meaning the at the end of the lease, the tenant has the option to buy (but not the obligation) whereas the seller has the obligation to sell if the the buyer chooses to buy (works just like selling stock options!)

It’s a neighborhood that’s gaining momentum as more investors discover it.Key ROI Factors:Low entry prices compared to other urban neighborhoods.High appreciation rates as demand spills over from nearby areas like Berry Hill and Wedgewood-Houston.Pro Tip: Look for 1950s ranch-style homes with potential for open-concept layouts.4.

How many bathrooms, bedrooms, and garages are in demand?

Just thought I'd drop a line to the group for more information.Specifically:-Demand for rentals.  

It's a misuse if the wholesaler isn't informing the seller upfront of their intention. 

I'd thought about offering 145k and allowing my agent to take a 3% comission ($4,200), use the $800 on any inspection/closing costs, and the seller walks away with 140k.
