We have been buying all our rentals the "slow" way by saving up 20%, buying a house, renting it out... repeat.

They may work better in more rural locations.Prefab/kit homes: Similar to modular, these offer cost savings and faster construction times.

Thanks guys I’ll definitely keep your contacts saved.  

Quote from @Melanie Baldridge: It's really simple: increase earnings, reduce expenses, save, invest, and wait. 

You can just show up, but we do ask you to register in advance if you can, it saves time at check in. 

I've had to pull files numerous times from one lender to another and have credit repulled, but have never seen a different score come up (save if the new pull is 30+ days from the first). 

Since you're aiming for 2025, you've got time to really learn the local market and save up for a solid down payment.Feel free to reach out if you want to have a chat.

Either way they are lower than the start of 2024 so they are trending down making is a good time to consider cash out.If you have any questions feel free to reach out I enjoy helping Bigger Pockets members save time and money!

It’s just a reality of the market there, so setting your expectations accordingly can save you some frustration.Hope that helps!
