Purchase price: $107,000 Cash invested: $80,000 Sale price: $280,000 Sourced an off market fix & flip deal in the western suburbs of Atlanta near an area where I knew an Amazon facility was being constructed and buyer demand would pick up.

Having a strong agent or team is crucial for identifying the right opportunities, navigating the market, and scaling effectively.Good luck!

It's also helpful to consult a local real estate agent to understand market trends, including demand, vacancy rates, and rental growth patterns.

@Lucas DeAndrade how much knowledge do you think you've accumulated about the Akron market?

These were in the Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach markets, but I believe this is a factor to consider in any market you're looking at. 

Welcome to the real estate hive.. are you open to exploring off-market listings through your network? 

-With my current role in my career and trajectory, I will be able to make the move out of midland in 1-2 years, so I would love the ability to leave and not worry about my home sitting on the market when we are trying to buy a home in Austin.Those are some of my thoughts and I would love to understand the reasoning for/ against this.

Spring may be better but I was unable to sell a cheap house in October for 5% off of “market value” and only sold a $600k home in January by listing it for $580k and I still only got one offer. ($150k down, 5 year seller financing.) my point being you may get $20-$40k more in a year if you don’t need to sell. 

If it's an easy cosmetic deal I wouldn't sweat over it too much as long as major items look good - plumbing, electrical, foundation, roof, HVAC, zoning, etc.This is why for first timers it's a lot easier to go with on-market or off-market sourced with an agent than wholesalers.

Is my CoC return solid, or do I need to adjust anything based on my market?
