That’s what drives me.Is it worth it?

I'd rather invest with the local 26 year old who lives in their second house-hack, drives their 10 year old car, and is raising their first small apartment syndication that they will self-manage, putting their own money into the deal, than some 45-year old guru who's secret sauce turned out to be their ability to charm on TikTok, but really, their approach to deals ended up being the "secret" to transforming $300M in real estate into $215M between 2021 and 2025.  

Drive around the neighborhoods to understand the lay of the land - if you have someone who will take you around and explain, better yet. 

Depending on the salaries of the new jobs they may also price out the local residents on new home sales which would further drive up the price.

If you are calling the licensed guy off the one single van that drives by or was referred to you..

I’m sure you won’t be verbally assaulted about how greedy you are Basically they were gifted $60-$120k tax free. 

Since you are an investor friendly agent that drives for dollars, I would invite you to try out the AI which looks at google images and satellite images to tell you if the property is distressed.

Thanks @Henry Lazerow, that is basically what we do in the city. 

Focus on what matters, not on things that have nothing to do with what drives the desired  results.

:)Just kidding.1) Stock market: may want to do this while exploring other options, just make sure funds are easily accessible2) Buy Multi-unit: two basic options:- Buy turnkey: may not cashflow for 3-5 years, depending on your management skills.- Buy someone else's problem: can you fix their problems?
