Time is critical, especially in competitive markets.Clear Offer Terms - Present a firm offer with terms that make the seller feel confident that you can close fast, with minimal contingencies or proof of funds.Due Diligence Preparation - Have your financing lined up and know your repair/rehab costs in advance so you can move quickly without second-guessing.

@Sandra HoI think people who have tendencies or habits tend to repeat them.

I have made reasonable efforts on all complaints - but I guess you can never make some people happy.

As you've guessed, I have three kids. :) We homeschool and I'm planning on making this a family business.

My goal is to scale up over the next few years and add another 10-20 doors.I ran across someone that is saying they are building quadplexes in the same town in Texas as my current rentals there, so I have some support system there.High level this is the idea on the deal:4 units constructed as 2 duplexes on one parcel.1250sqf 3/2/1 units$650k sale price, CME is $820k according to builder, will have a independent CME done if/as I move forward.Rent per unit is $1750 based on the other quad in the developmentBest guess at this point is about $16k/year cash flow at a 9.5% cap rate.Builder is a sister company of a established company in a related industry that has done "some" builds before but not a lot.

THE NEW FLORIDA SQUATTERS LAW WENT INTO EFFECT ON JULY 1, 2024 my Brother was successful with an adverse possession claim in CA.. he was not squatting he owned the property next door and the person who owned it died and I guess had no heirs.

I guess that makes me part of the 1%!

Most are not even comparable, but I guess you get what you pay for

Craigslist was that site for years, but I don't get many leads from there anymore ...oh well, guess I'm stuck using FB marketplace and the ol' "For Rent" sign in the yard... 

True, I guess rushing too much isn't necessary.
