The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.

If you can make a better return by using that cash on a different deal & you're in the "growth phase" most investors wouldn't buy it down because they would prioritize acquiring more properties over maximizing cash flow now.

With its strong demand for housing and rapid growth in various neighborhoods, you’ll find plenty of opportunities.

I was thinking 40k but seriously idk jack squat so just a guess based on mostly past user growth projections.

@Mitch ProvostFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, your property near Texas A&M in College Station/Bryan has strong investment potential due to the consistent demand for student housing driven by steady enrollment growth.

figuring that if I track and work towards creating and "presenting" 250 specific deals to my clients.My Theory being: Tracking "deals presented" will pull forward the need to go search and find deals, and will also drive the deals closed and revenue numbers, so we shall see but logics out to me so I'm liking it so far.

You may be priced just right, or depending on how small/large the property is, and where in Scottsdale it is located (North versus South), you may have a price growth opportunity. 

You may have to do this several times for all the different tasks being done.The only labor cost not covered by this type of online inquiry is drive time from the businessto the property, to the store & back for supplies and then back to the business address.

I'll drive you down the streets of Lehigh acres where they build and show anyone the gap between market rents (real asking prices) and their pro formas 

Many of our investors/wholesalers team up to skip trace, door knock, drive for dollars that can be capture in the application.
