It really highlights the value of having strong partnerships, effective marketing, and a sharp eye for profitable properties.One takeaway here is the importance of leveraging connections and networks to identify similar quick-turnaround opportunities.

There is absolutely a way to have eyes, ears and boots on the ground for finding and rehabbing properties.

MFDUs in high-demand areas like Asheville might be limited, but it’s worth keeping an eye out for smaller duplexes or triplexes that align with your budget.If neither works, continuing to rent while buying a pure investment property in a more affordable nearby market could make sense.

But then again courts will have to play catch up with all the evictions that will have to get processed 

Often people set too many goals which always reminds me of the Chinese proverb, “If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one.”

The reason I stayed at the Banana Bank Lodge this time, is because the Lady is a world class artist, thus an artistic eye. 

That kind of shoot-from-the-hip approach can be fun for a minute, but it usually ends up like my old buddy Rick’s first deal.. he bought a distressed fourplex in Tucson years back without a real plan, and while he eventually turned it into a solid monthly cash flow, he spent the first six months sleeping with one eye on the tenant ledger, praying the HVAC wouldn’t bail on him after a hot desert day.

Imagine if he does a perfect install job, but the unit catches fire anyway?

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: @Shaylynn O'Leary well, that's at least someone with "eyes and ears" in the actual market. 

Managing real estate, and doing it well, is an entirely different story.I would keep your eyes open for a book that teaches you how to manage well.
