For the most part, the guys and girls at the ground level are still great and focused on what they do! 

Instead of focusing on move-in-ready rentals, consider fixing up a cheaper property (BRRRR method) to add value and boost cash flow.

I'd also worry about the showings and if someone steals something from the tenants (or the tenants claim something is missing).Focus on getting the most you can for the property.

Narrow focus - I know the zip codes I wanted to purchase well.

Something like practicing math homework at home, but with a focus on real estate instead.My pleasure, man.

Hey everyone,I’ve been diving into the world of distressed properties and foreclosures but have been focusing on doing it all remotely.

So back to the drawing board, but for myself the big takeaway is to continue on the course that I set out on and too continually learn and stay involved with goals that I set out on and to stay focused.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

If you take that focus off the table and understand this is a very complicated business that tends to be really lucrative over the long game, you will be ok.

Do you focus on local goodies, practical essentials, or a mix of both?
