Any recommendations for something that will last for awhile? 

After seeing my brother's success with flix and flip in the bay area over the last 4 years, I decided to explore the same in New York.

Those chasing the last 5yrs experience are going to be rather sad at what the next 5yrs hold for them I think.

Quote from @Joshua Janus: Cleveland, Ohio is a great market to focus on for cash flow and specific pockets have gone up 2x and upwards of 4x in the last 5-10 years even!

We keep telling ourselves "this is the last one" then decide to do it again.

Although in the last couple deals most have come out as 506C deals where only accredited investors are allowed, there are still 506B syndications where you can be a sophisticated investor (self proclaimed) so you don't have to be accredited.

I've used Avail in the past, but switched to Baselane last year.

If you signed a 3% buyers representation agreement and the seller is only paying 2.5% and nothing more then just ask that your agent amend the buyers representation to 2.5% so you are not on the hook for the last %I will say, some agents are VERY strict and won't budge from 3% fee which in my opinion is kind of ridiculous.If you are my client and the seller is only paying a 2.5 % fee I won't ask you for the additional 0.5%.

I've only evicted a tenant through the court system three times in the last ten years, but I remove about a dozen tenants every year outside of the court system, all legally.Any tenant can move out in two weeks.

And lastly, by doing more of a new build focus you can always exit since you built below market in the area.
