The real work is locating these properties and I've learned the best way to do this is to work in towns/areas that have online GIS systems that map; topography, wetlands, soils, etc. and assessors data available for download either from local sources or listsource.com.  

Personally, I’d review MLS data, Zillow, and consult with a realtor to determine an accurate ARV.

I’m continuing to invest in real estate while also helping others achieve their real estate goals.

We have data to look back to for direction on our path forward, do we not? 

For real estate investors, it’s a golden opportunity to adapt to market needs, contribute to solving the housing crisis, and achieve solid returns.

They were selling on pro forma, but the market and the debt market have shifted, and it's aa lot harder to achieve higher pricing with lower rents.We've purchased over 2,000 units, and the simple answer to the question is that they are either mom and pops and run their businesses with ZERO KPIs, they do not want to risk losing tenants if they raise rents, and they don't treat their asset as a business.When you take over, it can be difficult to get rents to market if they are very suppressed.

There is really no data on this so most of the numbers are just proposed.

First off I always question statistics when there is no possible way to gather the data for the referenced statistic.  

I’m ready to start investing in my personal life to achieve that financial freedom! 

So think twice before taking any outsized risks, as you already achieved a nice equity base, and you don’t want to end up screwing the pooch by taking unneeded risks ;)Good luck and keep us posted on your decisions…
