Most of the phone numbers are incorrect, the person doesn’t match the property, and properties showing as “new” and in pre-foreclosure have already been sold at auction.

However, every property is unique, and the actual rent for a specific property depends on various subjective factors, which online rent estimate sites cannot consider.SummaryRentometer does not provide the level of rent accuracy required for making investment decisions.

If you are pitching these models/investments to someone else, including this does make you seem more sophisticated & safer to go with than someone who doesn't, but the reality is they are rarely used to make actual decisions.

Ultimately, the decision will depend on your investment goals, preferred property type.

the problem with the fed is they always too slow or too fast in making decision in both directions.

For reference sake, we have one mortgage at 7.5%; one at 5%; and all other financing below 4% with an overall portfolio weighted average interest rate of 3.785%I don't care too much if you have 5 properties or 500, but I'm curious if others have gone through this thought process at some point in their real estate investment journey and if so how did you make this decision?

the more you could make it an emotional (unique niche place that stands out) decision and find a buyer attracted to that vs pure math, the better, I suppose.I'm thinking 'the right location' (and buyer) for this scheme is more like the "hobby second home" crowd, dedicated ski/vacation town, right on the beach, cabins, main amazing attraction right nearby, NOT any-old air bnb beachtown condo, though, overall.

My strength has always been finding/analyzing deals, and then presenting them to an investor/lender in a way that makes the decision for them to fund a no-brainer.

First of all, congratulations on your new career and your decision to invest in real estate at such a young age!

Have you considered exploring other paths, such as taking a gap year to work and gain some real-world experience before making a decision about college?
