I’ve been thinking about partnering with a successful wholesaler and seeing if they will expand their operation to include the zip codes I am interested in.Example:  I would like to partner and give money to a successful Detroit or Texas wholesaler and see if they are willing to add my Georgia target market to their operations.Before moving forward, I wanted to get some feedback and advice from those who are wholesalers or who have partnered with wholesalers.Has anyone ever heard or have experience in a partnership like this? 

The outer boroughs—Bronx, parts of Queens, maybe Staten Island—are where people tend to have the most success, usually with multi-families.

Create a Sustainable Management ModelWhether operating the home yourself or working with a property management firm, a clear operational plan is necessary.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has had success in the downtown/midtown Sacramento for STR.

Purchase price: $220,000 Sale price: $225,000 Contributors: Peter Vekselman Partner Driven, in collaboration with our partner Archie Raglin, successfully purchased a property on Outlook St, Mission, KS, for $220,000 on 12/30/2024.

That is the reality of these properties and why they are rarely sustainable even if they appear to be cash flowing.- It costs me me less to turn over my 1500 SF units that rent for $3k/m then it does the same size section 8 unit because the property is cared for better and experiences less  wear and tear while fixed costs like cleaning and painting are easier to absorb. 

Right now, I’m focused on building a strong foundation in real estate by expanding my network and learning strategies for sustainable growth.

Year 0: ($2,000 - $1,700) x (1 + 2%)^0 / (1 + 5%)^0 ≈ $300 in today’s buying power.Year 5: ($2,000 - $1,700) x (1 + 2%)^5 / (1 + 5%)^5 ≈ $260 in today’s buying power.Year 10: ($2,000 - $1,700) x (1 + 2%)^10 / (1 + 5%)^10 ≈ $225 in today’s buying power.Year 15: ($2,000 - $1,700) x (1 + 2%)^15 / (1 + 5%)^15 ≈ $194 in today’s buying power.So, if you purchase property in a city where rent increases at a slower pace than inflation, the amount of goods and services you can buy will decrease over time due to inflation.Here is what I recommend:Purchase in a city that possesses the following characteristics.Significant and sustained population growth.Rapid and sustained appreciationBalance negative cash flow, interest rate buydown, and increased down payment to create an acceptable cash flow situation today.Refinance when rates fall to increase cash flow.
