for infill I concentrated on Charleston Sc and built about 35 homes in that market. uber competitive for dirt though they are running out of it and the city wont let you tear down homes in many cases because of historic considerations.

.- The 203(k) will allow you to bid on properties that need repairs that won't qualify for a traditional mortgage => less competition => better purchase price.You will need to find a great local contractor you can trust to supply the required bids to qualify for the 203(k).- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.

While I've made several investments independently, what sets SDIRA Wealth apart for me is their competitive pricing, focus on new construction, and access to markets with better performance compared to my local area in New York.

If your in a market facing off against me as competition to lease a property..... good luck, your gonna need it. 

Here are a few additional ideas that have worked for me and others in competitive markets like Austin:Off-Market Leads from Contractors: I had a friend who rehabbed a house in North Austin last year.

(Hence, increasing competition for this mortgage I’ve already paid off?)

(Minimal competition, high demand, and 20 year operating history with repeat & longterm clients) Agreed!

I've personally heard both positive and negative reviews about both Anderson's and Prime Corp, their competition.

I'd go on ABnB and see what your competition is doing that you can copy.Maybe a Firepit out front (as long as it's not a fire hazard), maybe a cornhole set?

There was more competition on the wash & fold side as there were definitely other companies operating in the area.Self-service was about half of our revenue and dry cleaning/wash & fold made up the other half.
