Investors love to take advantage of this strategy to expand their RE portfolio and have better appreciation potential.

Its also a good idea to build relationships with realtors, contractors, insurance agents, real estate attorneys, and property managers in your area so take advantage of events, conferences, and meetups.

Definitely not, IMO, Been there and its a waste of time and money and risk unless you have dedicated plan to take advantage of having it.

Plus, Memphis has been seeing some positive neighborhood revitalization, which could lead to nice appreciation down the road.Of course, all the markets you’re considering—Dallas, Austin, Houston, Columbus, Cincinnati, Nashville, and Las Vegas—have their own unique advantages and potential.

Needs a huge remodel (they put the shower in the living room, and you can't open the oven all the way in the kitchen, absolutely ridiculous).I did check the events and meetups category, couldn't find anything nearby. 

But it did begin to hit me, this realization, that I had been made a fool and have been taken advantage of.

Saw it in 2020 and its happening all over again for different reasonsI have invested in the areas myself and plan more in 2025 to take advantage of the huge tax benifits to come.

Always invest in your backyard @Dina Mazur - you have a huge home-field advantage I would not give up.

Finder's fee if you take advantage of it lolhttp://money.cnn.com/2017/09/06/technology/dubai-bitcoin-apartments/index.html

But there's advantages for either way depending on your situation, plan, and goals.The 70% rule is just a guideline.
