Still thinking pool but market likely matters.Yes, we're learning that Vegas is pretty crazy with regulations, BUT doable so that's our current target market.

I am 40, a creative director burnt out on the advertising industry, and ready to do construction/RE/rentals full time.

I could tell you that Ardmore is super safe but youre looking at $1M+ for a quadplex.If you need help getting in touch with a lender and seeing what you can get qualified for, don't hesitate to reach out.I would recommend NE Philly and Bucks county as they are very close proximity to princetonI would:First get preapproved and then start to target the areas I would be comfortable living in.You might have better luck with Duplexes in the philly area as there are more of them out there.

I had thought of advertising the properties ahead of time to sell them before construction starts and give people the option to pick a few details on their own just to get the properties sold ahead of time to help with financing.

We basically execute a form of the BRRRR strategy by targeting communities that require significant renovations or improved management to bring them back to profitability and then we are able to use the increased equity when we exercise the option. 

Here's how they work: they advertise a low initial cost of $499 for a 30-yard dumpster, but in the fine print, it says you'll pay extra for any weight over 3000 pounds.As a first-time home renovator, I assumed the 3000 pounds would be more than enough and ended up paying a lot more than I expected.

This number does not include the time it takes to drive to the target neighborhood or zip code - so lets be conservative and add another 3 hours since you would have to do multiple trips to your target neighborhood or zip code to review 10,000 homes.

So if I’m targeting a 100k property but I ask for 500k is that possible?

Hey Charlie- what types of creative financing deals are you targeting?

Well, first, there are two types of "investment clubs" (and it sounds like you may not realize this).The first (and unfortunately most common) is basically a thinly disguised way for a sponsor or sponsor affiliate to advertise and push their own deals on investors.
