Run the comps, calculate repair costs, and plan multiple exit strategies so you maximize every deal—whether that’s wholesaling, flipping, or holding for cash flow.

@Kyle Atans  for me for the younger investors or starter investors is  at least use that 100 or 200 a month positive to paydown debt at an accelerated rate it will save them a ton in the long run and if they can get them paid off in 10 to 15 years that's a good thing.. its not like saving 1200 a year is going to materially affect their ability to buy unit number two and if its that tight not sure owning rentals is that great of investment anyway.

In the long run, I want to have properties that are producing strong cash flow (eventually would love to own small apartment buildings and syndicate larger deals), but it seems that focusing on cash flow and reinvesting those cash flows will be a slower process than focusing on properties prime for appreciation or with opportunities for forced appreciation.

The main issues a lot of investors/PM's run into is the inspection period since Section 8 inspections are no walk in the park.

These include drafting offering documents, adhering to ongoing disclosure rules, and audits, which can easily run tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

They’ll let you know if everything looks up to code or if there are issues to fix.Then, head to the local building department and apply for the permits.

There's an adage in several sports about critical things like protective gear: "a $10 helmet for a $10 head."

Each corporation runs differently so some are easy to deal with and some not so much.

Conversely, you will run into people on your list that just seem to be a waste of time, so you’ll want to avoid them.
