And as this noted one shows, to those who think they will just swoop in and pick up an "easy buy", just write a check and it will be a simple take-over, think again.

The rent declines in the market are temporary until the new supply gets absorbed and demand picks back up.

Seems like a cashflow only market, so picking a neighborhood that can get decent tenants is a must. 

Hey @Anne Christensen - Having been on both sides of real estate meetups (attending and hosting), I can tell you they're absolutely worth your time if you pick the right ones. 

I’m also in the process of reaching out to people in my city/neighborhood who are experienced REIs, RE agents, and GCs to get their insight and pick their brains, start to conceptualize potential partners, etc.

We own four of our sober living homes and rent the other four from landlords (we picked up a few more since my last post).

I just picked Dusk Cherry…so, thanks for the confirmation

So how many have you picked up, and how's it going ? 

Picking a house with major, costly structural issues or in a location with poor rental demand can hurt both the rental and refinance phases.

I'd like to pick a good platform and keep everything under one roof - not need multiple tools.
