Currently it’s slow season and it’s even slower than usual from what I understand.We are thinking about how to build demand through targeted marketing strategies.

While I was open to carrying a note, I wasn’t going to go that high.Unfortunately, there’s been an unrealistic expectation set by the gurus that relying on seller financing is a viable strategy for buying a business.

I’ve focused mainly on Florida but have also looked at options in Sacramento and other slightly more remote locations in CA.While I’m familiar with value-add strategies (ADUs, renovations or storage rentals), these seem like heavy lifts for modest gains.

As a beginner investor based in the Seattle metro area, I'm eager to learn from your experiences and share my journey as I get started in this field.My current strategy is to focus on live-and-flip for the first three deals (looking for my second deal) to gain hands-on experience while building equity and learning the ins and outs of renovation and the local market. 

I used to do BRRRR strategy here but now only do flips and help with others' house hacking or flipping.I had to move my BRRRR strategy side of the business to Tyler Texas.Are you still investing locally or only out of state?

The PMS around here are pretty terrible, I've worked with a lot of the larger ones in Cleveland and I think they just take on more properties than they can effectively handle and don't hire enough additional employees to make it work. 

Would love to hear how others interpret this report and what your investing strategy is for 2025.

We are looking to do long-term rentals for a buy-and-hold strategy, starting to build up our portfolio and gain momentum. 

To minimize upfront costs, explore down payment assistance programs, creative financing strategies like seller financing, or rent-to-own agreements. 

Always keep an eye on interest rates to optimize cash flow and return on equity. if you switch to long term hold investing, you'll want to see if equity stripping is a strategy that works for you.
