For now, staying local allows me to leverage my property management experience—most of which came from working directly for family and close business associates who were property managers, contractors, and business owners.

I am a 23 year old who recently graduated from college with a business degree focusing on real estate finance and development.

I find that it's almost a one stop shop in that I can use it for my business checking and savings accounts, bookkeeping, for rent collection, I can issue virtual credit card, I can create all the financial reports I need to run my real estate business and prepare for tax filing and through their partners I can vet my tenants, develop state-specific leases and more.

Will bring cash to the table.  

These are primarily found in cities with a metro population >1M.Pro-business environment: Many cities treat employers as adversaries through restrictive policies.

They were selling on pro forma, but the market and the debt market have shifted, and it's aa lot harder to achieve higher pricing with lower rents.We've purchased over 2,000 units, and the simple answer to the question is that they are either mom and pops and run their businesses with ZERO KPIs, they do not want to risk losing tenants if they raise rents, and they don't treat their asset as a business.When you take over, it can be difficult to get rents to market if they are very suppressed.

Hey Kenny no it's more out the money to work and if needed get personally involved right right now have 3 clients I helped raised 175k in 0% interest business funding with 12 months 0 apr and they want to get going in real estate and make modest returns not shooting for home runs 

I was going to bring up that the seller financing doesn’t matter if you plan to get a construction loan as the seller financing will have to be paid off. 

Above are just hypotheticals, but they bring to light the point, which is, evaluating opportunities requires apples to apples comparisons. 

Yes, you bring home more each month but when you compare the amount you bring home versus how much you had to put in, the returns are typically significantly lower on your money when you pay all cash.
