One thing I will say there is a shortage of is properties that accept a pet (single pet, ie 1 dog)You will see a lot of manufactured housing on this corridor, but there are some older homes needing updates since the parent or grandparent had just passed (just toured a great one that sold for $219k in a week (cash) that was massive but my buyer was afraid of the work & it was easy fix and flip)As I mentioned below, I'm very curious to your style-what makes the right deal for you?

I would be very careful about accepting advice from anyone that could personally benefit.Listen to David Greene Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, etc.

., etc. for example finding cash flowing investment properties which meet your ROI goal of 9% is NOT HARD heck almost every state (and likely every state) has a market which will achieve that but what does 9% mean without a dollar value if 9% is = to $200 or more okay that’s okay but if 9% means $25/mo. or alternatively if 50% ROI means $25/mo. doesn’t really matter much since although labor differs from area to area it doesn’t differ that much and also doesn’t really leave much room for error — so your minimum accepted ROI should also be couple within a minimum accepted $$ value (cash flow) and other minimums as well (i.e. min. equity, property types, property classes, etc.)Lastly as I mentioned achieving a 9% ROI is not hard and is achievable in every state; the HARDER part is to 1) achieve that AND 2) achieve 10-20% min.equity on the buy in or ARV AND 3) meeting your min. $ value AND 4) buying in a good/stable neighborhood/market AND 5) buying with some type of upside AND 6) etc. etc. etc. —- Again I’m not saying you have to do these things; it all depends what type of investor you are and what you are looking for however it is important to understand that if you shift the responsibility of either identifying the invest property or managing or any other aspect there WILL be a trade off — in this case the turnkey company has delivered on your goal of 8-9% ROI (projected... so TBC) and in return you have traded some of the other benefits of investing in RE for the convenience of not having to do much more than to look over the properties they have sent you and funding it from the comfort of your home, office, etc. ... again if this is the goal then you are on point but if the goal is to also partake in ALL of the other benefits of RE then you should understand that and not be surprised that it’s not a ‘stellar’ investment that checks all the boxes.

Instead of seeing this as an opportunity, people like you get offended, and their egos are hurt, so to defend it they will instead of accepting actual data, try to manufacture and manipulate the narrative to construct a realm where they could still be right regardless of where or not it is right.

However, sellers currently on the market are more likely to accept lower offers, giving us some room for negotiation.Rental Market TrendsThe charts below are only relevant to the property profile that we target.Rentals - Median $/SF by MonthRents held steady from October to November, bucking the seasonal trend.

Prices haven't fallen, and rents haven't moved up enough.Investors either need to work harder, be more creative, accept negative cash flow, or sit on the sidelines. 

That will change in 2H25 in a lot of markets.Expenses:  Leveling off and must be accepted as the new normal.

In a great location with consistent historical appreciation, neutral or even negative cashflow is perfectly acceptable IMO.

You can't accept anything over the allowed budgeted price.
