From my personal experience I’ve had most success acquiring MLS properties that have underlying characteristics such as favorable zoning, incorrectly listed square footage or other attributes that are either incorrectly represented or not effectively marketed.

There so many answers here I'll just drop this thought you can think about.....It all depends on how hard you want to gamble when that large insurance claim finally does happen.Lastly, you want Waivo for small damage claims not your homeowner's insurance.

@Kiersten Vogt there is 0 chance I would gamble with what around here is a $35-40k issue.

in simple term:the sum amount of money in being circulation is always going to increase the residential real estate valuation as it has limited supply as hard asset and increased demand.rising amount of money is equal to higher inflation, but whether the dollar rising or not it depends on interest rate, whether it's higher againts its peer (if rate is higher then it causes more expensive dollar thus higher USD), and vice versa.in other word, the more inflation it is, the more expensive real estate would be.you can see the same characteristic in other country as well.

The main characteristics were that the exterior walls were constructed all at once with the same stud running from foundation to roof and the floors or levels were hung off of a cleat that ran around the structure cut into the vertical stud.

Each area has unique characteristics, and I'd be more than happy to give you insights into neighborhoods that might align better with what you're looking for.

I don't gamble in the stock market.Isn't part of it, that you can create generational wealth by investing outside of a 401(k) into real estate and pass those houses down tax free to the next generation using the stepped up basis?

Rents need to be calculated by having a fair understanding of your units' characteristics and how those comp in your market.

I do not gamble on the SFH markets.

TWO EXIT STRATEGIES… proven strategies… or you’re not a professional investor… you’re just gambling with your family’s money.Almost ALL of the “ deals” I have been pitched in my region of Florida are built to assure that the wholesale gets rich… period.
