I am glad we did not buy it, because it took them over a year to get through hearings with concerned neighbors to even get a plan approved and they cut them down to 13 lots.

Listen to Brandon Turner's podcast where someone he interviewed shared how this made a HUGE increase on her income: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1bS4eL80KL1rWY4vyCMjXh?

.- Working a W2 as a firefighter, posting and consuming content- Leaving my W2 to dive deep into real estate investing and working as an agent... and still watching/posting content all while business was ok - Deleting social media apps (one have one on my phone that I use 10 minutes or less a day), diving deep into building my business and skills which have drastically increased due to pure focus and increasing my business significantly- moral of the story... focus on the things you need to do in business (dollar productive activities) and life experiences while reducing consumption will increase your success  

If you could buy it with a 15% discount: $60,000And rent discount at $2200 mo. with a 5% increase annually would be: $132,615 for 5 yearsYou would be buying the home at a 48% discount in this example.

@James Landsford That punch list is a lot of work that won't necessarily help with you increasing rents over time.

In larger multifamily investing it's about finding opportunities to increase revenue and/or decrease expenses to drive value.

Quote from @Kaaren Hall: Was going for the best cost-of funds (lower rate)@Kaaren Hall So you were less concerned about your annual cash flow/return (IRR)? 

The tenant base, on average, tends to be rougher on the properties, moves more frequently, and cannot absorb any rent increases.  

Since I will be living in, I am looking for a nice neighbrhood with somewhat remodeled house with opportunities to increase the value as well.I would love to connect with other investors in the area and appreicate any insights as a newbie!

Many of these areas also benefit from both rising home values and increasing rents.Ultimately, successful investing comes down to selecting a growing market, a strong neighborhood, and building a reliable team to support you.
