In fact, some of the best opportunities in real estate come from properties that others overlook—distressed homes with potential that just need the right investor to bring them back to life.If you’ve been in the game long enough, you know that distressed properties can offer huge upside, but they also come with their own set of challenges.

I've learned that the on-market opportunities just don't have enough margin and are too risky for flips.If you have any off-market leads or know where I should be looking, please share them with me!

Last August a decent pre-foreclosure opportunity came available on the MLS and my agent took us to see the home and submitted two offers below asking that were too low for the seller at the time.Apparently the seller was able to avoid foreclosure and the home delisted after it didn’t sale.

But, that aside, I’d like to initiate a discussion of where note investors feel the opportunities will lie moving forward.I’ll go first.  

You can do less than 20% down (as low as 3.5-5%) if you intend to occupy the home for at least a year.2) There will be an HOA (homeowners association) which restricts rentals, so be sure to read the CC&Rs (governing documents) to ensure that your rental strategy is allowed, even if you intend to live there at first, eventually you'll be transitioning it to an investment property, so this will be important.

We really like it and would like to stay but i don't know if you still intend to keep it now that you're gone.Then go from there.

I live in an apartment with 4 rental units and a studio. Over the past few months the landlord has been trying to sell the property but nobody has actually bought it. Maybe the deal would always fall out of contract a...

It also expands your opportunities, as there just isn't a lot of small MF for sale in these areas. 

Quote from @Zachary Kessler: Hello all I’m currently hacking my house that has an ADU dwelling that generates income, I bought this property intending to leave and rent the house that I currently reside in (2 bed 1 bath) I currently have a very good interest rate locked in here from 2022 that I don’t want to lose or have my mortgage called due from leaving here, I live here for very cheap with the income from the ADU.

I intend to add a closet to the den and make it a 3 bedroom adding value as well as remodel the entire unit.
