Since the last report, we have seen a significant increase to Median Price of New Listings, from $227,950 to $241,450.

It helps to build a good network of reliable contractors, especially if you’re investing out of state.Section 8 has been a part of my strategy, and while it’s not all rainbows, it’s been a solid way to build consistent cash flow.

Far too many parks just 'give' a resident in the park free space rent to keep an eye on things and do light maintenance with no 1099 reporting.

Long Backstory, but my Dad owns a house in Greensboro, NC but has not lived in it consistently in 4-5 years.

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

Similarly, a credit report fee upfront is reasonable, but these can often be avoided as well.

You can even look for police reports in that neighborhood.

I have had some responses but still no consistency.
