I pay attention to local amenities like shops, parks, and restaurants, because they make the area more appealing to tenants.

I've only had one listing transaction from my BP leads.Most are complete noobs or have limited REI experience with a rental or two.

In our still relatively limited experience, seller financiers are usually looking to get a higher asking price in exchange for the favor of the private loan. 

If you have any experience with real estate in the greater Charleston area, I’d greatly appreciate your feedback and insights.

- Do you want an ocean view, or is proximity to the water or to resort amenities like fine dining or shops most important?

In addition, I've helped many other investors finance their deals as a mortgage broker.I'm happy to share my experience as both an investor and lender.

If so can you tell me more about your experience?

And there are a lot of cash buyers out there with way more cash and way more experience than you....

Shop around and find something that works for you.

But with the right strategy and due diligence, Albuquerque might just be the next great investment hotspot.Would love to hear from other BiggerPockets members who have experience in the Albuquerque market.
