One of the agents @Eric Fernwood has posted several times on BP with charts and graphs comparing Las Vegas and a few other cities, appreciation over the years, etc.

So, they got taken advantage of.4) They didn't do enough research on comparable properties before doing repairs - so went either overboard or slumlord, instead of properly Maintaining to the Neighborhood.The other challenge we encounter often is investors expecting perfection.

its cheap  compared to what you get I found a strict foreclosure in Oregon that their site was on the only one tracking it and we made over 300k on that one deal. 

Leverage magnifies return. 3) The effort involved in adding an ADU is comparable or larger than a rehab associated with a BRRRR.

If this is not something you're interested in delving into and learning to a high degree, then investing in publicly traded REITs would be another good option for you, which have historically returned about 13.5 per cent Per year over the past 50 years (1977-present), beating the US stock market by two per cent and even beating private real estate investing by 4 per cent (that's compared with the average real estate investor, not the experts here at Bigger Pockets).

My understanding is that although it can work, these types of legal agreements have big downsides compared to sub to.

Long and short, when I now look at my "return on Equity" numbers as opposed to my casual on cash return numbers it makes all the sense in the world for me to sell.Wholesalers contact me at least once a month the past 10 years and are always asking if I want to sell one of my properties, but I'll be hard-pressed to ever find a wholesaler that wants to pay me for what these properties are worth and is also willing to buy all the properties in one transaction which is how I'm looking to sell.Given how good our return numbers are here in northeastern Ohio compared to the parts of the country I know that out of state investors would definitely be very interested in in this portfolio.

Raleigh/Cary is definitely competitive..it's a booming market, but your $30K in cash gives you some solid options, especially for a BRRRR strategy.If you're looking for slightly lower-cost entry points, here are a few markets to consider:Greensboro, NC: Staying within your home state, Greensboro offers a more affordable market compared to Raleigh.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Just don't make the mistake of comparing what someone else profits on a role, to decide whether your compensation is sufficient or not.
