Best option: don't invest in areas with high crime.Security cameras, motion-detecting lights, and plenty of signs that it's protected by a security system.

That's including high Baltimore property taxes, expenses, mortgage, etc. 

You will not need to join CAR/NAR and I offer super high fee splits.

What doesn’t work today may work in the future.Another challenge with the traditional BRRRR model is the resulting high debt load often isn’t fully covered by rental income, especially in today’s high-rate environment.

This seems to follow the general overall trend of lower cost areas winning at the expense of those with a high costs of living.

Building on existing land helps eliminate the issue of land scarcity, which is a significant challenge due to California’s high real estate prices.

The ones with really good reviews, and a high amount of reviews usually cost a little more, but do a good job.
