My wife and I are in Stillwater and have house hacked for a number of years as well as flipped and own mixed use buildings in Western Wi.

I would second out near Heber since they’re building the new world class ski resort out there soon.

Build your network by joining local real estate investor meetups or online communities like BiggerPockets.

Since you're open to markets beyond NYC, you might want to connect with local investor meetups or REI groups in those areas to build relationships with agents, wholesalers, and lenders who understand the nuances of each market.If you're looking to break out of analysis paralysis, maybe start by narrowing down one or two target markets and running numbers on actual deals.

I had been discussing this property with the owner for a while and saw its potential—distressed but with strong fundamentals and built-in equity.The deal was a great opportunity to apply creative financing, secure a property with minimal upfront capital, and build long-term cash flow.

I have been a Building Contractor for over 30yrs.

The goal is to build a portfolio along the way. 1.

 Hey GUYSOver the years, I’ve worked on creating high-converting funnels for marketing agencies, and one thing I’ve noticed is that the core principles of attracting, nurturing, and converting leads are just as relevant for real estate investors.I’ve been diving into strategies that could help investors streamline their deal flow, attract motivated sellers, and build better relationships with private lenders.

They often have different vendors introduce themselves so you can build your team and they often have a local member do a case study on one of their properties to share the ins, outs, ups, and downs of the investment.

this is a direct relation to lack of inventory.. new construction on many markets is as robust as its ever been.. we have had spectacular years the last 3 years of course during covid was tough with supply chains but my 500k house I am now selling for 700k and my build cost have gone up by maybe 100k.. so record profits for us..
