I recommend targeting emerging neighborhoods with strong long-term growth potential, where property prices are still affordable but demand is on the rise.

I remember some of my staff trying to rent rooms and they would get 70 applications and interview potential roommates in person to see if it was a good fit.

Don’t be one of them.There were different ways that potential buyers wasted my time.

@Rosette PooleRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Sometimes it is very difficult to reconstruct your depreciation schedule without the help of your prior accountant but still potentially possible.

We scan and analyze every new listing in an investor's target markets and send an email alert of high-potential properties based on their custom criteria. 

Is there a certain amount of savings or financial cushion that experienced investors recommend before jumping in? 

This year I am ready to make my first step towards financial independence.

A lot of agents don't want to have to educate someone who is broke and has dreams of financial freedom through real estate just to find out you can't buy.

I have been living where i am now since 2022 I don’t want to ever sell it because its in a good location and it has potential to be a great rental investment i just don’t want to lose my interest rate by leaving and renting it out i have heard that your mortgage can be called due by doing that.
