Dalton,A multi LTR strategy sounds like a great play for 2025.i would suggest attending any and all REI meet ups in your area that you can find; my brokerage hosts a bunch of them up in the north east and it's been huge for our growth.i would also suggest finding an investor focused agent.

@Kenneth Tiedemann if you're investing in San Diego, I've had good experiences with easy street capital and aqua funding.

Do you assist with rental management in the 53206 zip code maybe around 16th /North?

Use online tools like Google Street View, neighborhood data sites, and even local Facebook groups to get a feel for the area.

Daymond John literally sat in a dumpy apartment at a sewing machine and then out on the street selling what he made. 

Ideally, you sit back on all assets levered at 20-40% and real estate possibly up to 60%, ideally not north of 40%.

I am from North Carolina originally and looking to buy our next property in eastern Tennessee.

The challenge is that in US, for that kind of premium property, you have to shell out north of $3M.

I consul them to always include a street view of the property, from across the street, showing the entire house in situ, in order to answer the question for the guests (who have never been there before): "What are we looking for as we drive down the street" My 2 cents,Mike

It can be anything from the guy down the street using his 401(k) to lend or it can be a well established business that has a lot of funds to deal with.
