Hey mate,Take your time (As much time as necessary) to get the right feet on the ground first and foremost.Many folks get caught up in the attractive numbers a potential market presents and completely neglect building a team.A good ream on the ground will make or break your investment and not so much the demographics of an area itself.You can minimize your risk by buying super cheap thus hedging any "mistakes" you make in rehab or by working with the wrong people.Be patient and negotiate tough and you should find a bargain.We do even in today's market although much less often than 3-4 years ago.Direct mail, wholesalers and good old Craigslist are just some ways we buy a lot of our properties.We are also on the list of various disposition managers that send us deals.This site has some decent deals from time to time also - https://investorlift.com/And forget about appraisals unless you manipulate them.It's a blood joke if you ask me... lolI've had deals appraise for less than we bought and rehabbed which is impossible.And I'm pretty confident that my company has bought, fixed and sold more properties in our lifetime than many appraisers have appraised.Appraisers sometimes like to be A$$holes and give a lower appraisal just to screw with the flippers profit.I think they sometimes do this out of jealousy lolIt's a funny world we live in.Just my 2 Aussie cents.Much success 🙏

Nobody is sugar-coating the struggle, and most have felt this exact same feeling.

While I'll let him introduce himself if he wants, suffice it to say, Todd has real estate in his blood -- among other real estate ventures, he's done 40-50 rehabs the past few years, including some spec building and development.

Blood in the water and whatnot.

They eat our blood and make more BB and live in their own waste.

And I mean through her own blood sweat and tears, not passively just by being her wonderful self (which women are so good at)It is very possible that I will spend a lot of time extracting pay from the job market before slamming into real estate, but I don't think I'll ever be able to take it that seriously.

I live in Maine where we get 37 million visitors every year with a population of only 1.3 million so summer tourism is the life blood of the state.

We never got a ton of snow around here, and what we did get melted off pretty fast, but yeah the ski areas around here - Ober Gatlinburg, Wolf Laurel, Beech Mtn, Sugar Mountain - would be able to keep snow most of the season without having to make it very often.

I think he avoids me now as he knows his threats just entertain me, but they raise his blood pressure (my wife initially had her blood pressure raised, but even she is now entertained by them).A third party that typically strives to justify the negotiated price indicates the property is worth over $10K less than the negotiated price. 

If two people show up and attend a showing, it's not like I can openly ask whether they are related by blood, marriage, couples living together, friends or otherwise.
