Hey everyone,I’m a real estate investor looking to build stronger relationships with agents to access off-market deals.

But I do hope to offer some quality feedback for folks who are learning the industry and working towards success.

If you're keeping it a separate studio rental and want to maximize the space, then removing it seems to be the right move - and definitely reduces the liability.

3) What neighborhoods would you recommend in this price range if I'm targeting high quality tenants?

If anyone tells you that you can get 15% cash-on-cash it's either a scam or ultra high risk. 

These properties are generally in high demand, but on a positive there will be drastically less new inventory of competing rental properties. 

Final Water Quality Plan.10.

In your case going to a fifth unit as noted above could actually reduce the value, so I'd be cautious of that since that materially degrades their collateral.

We’re currently using it for multi-family properties in a few core markets.While redIQ is a much more sophisticated tool that focuses on properties with over 50 units, our system is perfect for properties up to 50 units, providing an efficient solution for managing lead intake and financial analysis without the complexity of larger systems.Here’s how it works:Lead Intake & Processing: Automatically processes broker emails and key documents (OMs, Rent Rolls, T12s, etc.).Quick Review: Evaluates leads based on key metrics like IRR, price per unit, and more.Detailed Analysis: Extracts data from documents, evaluates financials, and identifies additional income sources.Market Research Integration: Automates checks on flood zones, demographics, school quality, etc.Deal Tracking: Uses Google Sheets to visually organize lead data—while not a full database system, it provides a simple and efficient way to store and track deals without the need for a full-fledged database like MongoDB.Financial Analysis: Built-in underwriting and financial modeling with automated reports.In addition to ZCG, I also own a portfolio of properties.

It’s been a grind, but I’ve built some great relationships and have been able to lock up some strong opportunities because of for my investors.
