Such as helping build your team, network, finding mentors, and best of all, it forces you to always have a pulse on the market (even if you are not in buying mode). Real

I wonder if being a Moderator gives one access to member emails that are hidden to others.

I usually look at 1) location - is it growing, low supply of units, 2) Is the UW conservative or moderate (CAP rate, rent growths, expenses), 3) Does the deal pay a pref return (I like cashflow), 4) Overall equity multiple, etc....  

I'm not a moderator but it looks like your using BP for exactly what it's designed for, meeting people and learning!

I plan to buy something that is in need of a moderate rehab, doing things such as flooring, painting, interior trim, appliances, etc.

but can you tell me how do you find out that a particular market or a place has a higher or lower cash fl I am not one to live and die by the 1% rule as it does not work in many markets, however we were able to identify many markets that are not even considered "hot markets" to investors that had strong rental demand and we could buy properties moderately distressed, so a little rehab and rent in days for more than 1% of property value.

Last post was deleted by moderator...Hey HavanI personally have a RE investing background and buy only distressed properties and employ a BRRR strategy.

@Asif KarmallyChicago is the 3rd largest MSA, national travel hub, less prone to natural disasters / risks, and is very moderately priced compared to larger MSA's like New York.

I like to take on moderate rehab projects, but try to stay away from places that need totally gutted. 

Fortunately, rental properties in DFW tend to move quickly, but success is contingent on factors such as pricing and location.I know of some moderate priced new build companies that will sell to investors too.
