These buyers are playing the long game—betting on rising property values and rents, which offsets initial breakeven or negative cash flow.If you’re starting out, I strongly recommend focusing on single-family homes in neighborhoods at the high end of the "low-end market" spectrum.

My partner and I have been investing in OH for about 5 years now, we are cashflow investors and have over 20 doors consisting of SFH and duplexes in OH.

Hi Rachel and all, I’m late to the post but boy was it invigorating to hear from women in my boat.I currently one 2 properties, 3 doors.

I want a professional that knows more than I do... or what am I hiring them for.  

Some have a 20% down, but the rate rises significantly.

Couple hundred bucks a door monthly cash flow, solid ROI, and yes plenty appreciation (#1 appreciating city 2023).

Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal level Learn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are needed Know everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

No pocket listings = agents aren't even calling for new leads anymore, rising interest rate has nothing to do with an agent's ability to generate leads.If you mean multifamily apartments, 5 units and up, some of those agents will know, but not many until you are over 10 units which are more listed by only commercial brokers which I agree do understand seller finance.

I am beachfront (all 4 listings are in the same building, same floor, next door to each other), some are listed as beachfront, others aren't.
