This creates organic growth that maintains the integrity and quality of the network.Parallel to this, strategic marketing and outreach efforts are underway to attract investors who are actively looking for a better networking solution.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't invest the time to ACTUALLY understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

While an FHA loan with its low down payment might seem attractive, it's not the best fit for a rental property in Jacksonville.

This upgrade may also increase the property value and attract higher-quality tenants, ultimately leading to higher rental income.

San Marcos, which isn't far from there at all, is home to Texas State University, as well as a recreational destination for the river tubing, which is a huge attraction.

Columbus is experiencing growth, making it an attractive option for real estate investors.

So by having income you can show is consistent, it helps you qualify and look more attractive to lenders down the line.  

For that purpose I would like to share some attractive ares that are not as high ticket, and a way to avoid the rent control.

Hard money, creative financing, or traditional financing should be viewed as different tools that you can use; try not to worry too much about finding one, singular way to finance every deal.For example, if you are buying an off-market deal from a family member, you may want to see if you can use traditional financing or creative financing since there's no competition and you'll get the most attractive/flexible terms.On the other hand, if you see a newly listed deal on the MLS, you may want to look at hard money since it can fund quickly like cash.Hard money loans are more expensive so you'll want to plan your exit before you get in whether that be refinancing into a long term note or selling the property.Hope this helps!

For that reason, I focus on looking at investments with value-add opportunity, and thus turnkey properties are less attractive to me.My metrics, then, are typically if my purchase price, remodel costs, and holding costs are less than 70% of the After Repair Value, it's a good deal for me!
