Are the comps, really comps (i.e. ranch vs two story, sidewalks versus no sidewalks, subdivision vs not)?

. - We almost feel sorry for the foolish/naive DIY landlord that inevitably falls for their sob story and accepts them.We have had 2-3 that have gone through our process and so we accepted their multi-month payment.

Elijah tells a good story but that is where it ends.

Long story short: 5 unit multifamily set up with frontier internet.

There is a story to every pocket of every neighborhood that locals will know, but you may not, if investing out of state or in a market you don't know.

I’ve flipped a few houses and talked to a few investors and this is one of the biggest horror stories I’ve seen working with contractors.

The smart play would be to build a two story wood frame structure on top of piers or concrete block in most cases. 35 feet is a pretty typical height limit in most neighborhoods, so depending on elevation you SHOULD be able to build two stories on top of the elevated foundation.

Now if you could put down half of that and get the same cash flow, that would be a different story.

Don't worry about what others are doing theyre on a different path than you because no ones story is the same. so try to ignore the noise and take those steps:) 

great story.
