As I invested a few years back, my returns have been pretty good with cashflow and appreciation. 

It really helps to see how Redwood properties stack up in terms of returns versus popular metro areas (from what I’ve heard).What would you do first if you were to break down the property’s biggest potential value-add?

Buying this house will only make sense if you're getting something of value in return as far as a business deal.

Getting the federal return correct is the most important and with owning two properties, there could be some positive tax benefits.

I’m returning to the U.S. after spending a few years overseas, and I’m eager to start my journey in real estate investing.Once I’m back, I have a job lined up with a wholesaling company where I’ll be focusing on buying houses.

There are some exceptions, but the HOA dues normally kill your returns and there are all kinds of other issues having tenants living close together. 

I believe this approach provides the best cash-on-cash return when starting out.I began investing in Columbus in 2017, and I've engaged in both BRRRR strategies and turnkey investments.

Prove yourself, and they will want to return the favor.

Perhaps in return they collect an acquisition fee,  collect a construction management fee & share in a portion of the upside.

If you’re looking for short-term cash flow, you might need to explore nearby markets with lower entry costs and higher cash-on-cash returns, even if they aren’t as familiar to you.
