Too many wholesalers are so eager to get a contract that they lock up properties way above market value, hoping to find a buyer who doesn’t know any better.

IMO better options- If you don't need the money in the next 10+ years look into Annuities I'm seeing 7-9% and you don't have to participate in market downturns.

If willing to invest more effort for higher ROI, consider Option 3 (building your own team), though it requires time to establish reliable management.

Higher DemandThe rental market is shifting.

Purchase price: $417,500 Cash invested: $37,575 We weren't super happy with anything we were seeing on the market, so my husband and I had just started writing letters and looking off-market... until we saw this property.It'd been sitting on the market for months, originally listed around $550,000.

Would love to network with some people to get to know the area and the market a little better, as well as to hear about your experiences.

My focus is simple: helping out-of-state investors like you unlock the full potential of the Birmingham market.

I live in a very expensive market (Seattle, WA) and I am looking to invest out of State.

@Marc Anthony MacielIf you're diving into house hacking and multifamily investing in Southern California, you’ll want to focus on markets like Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, and Long Beach—areas with strong rental demand and solid appreciation potential.

Todays market vs a different market will also impact your buy box.
