One of the first off-market deals I landed was a property I heard about through a referral.

Through my research i found it is best to make connections with agents, investors and buyers before I land my first contract!

I was willing to pay a higher upfront cost and sacrifice a greater monthly cash flow to achieve these top two priorities.We landed on a SFR in Harvest, AL.

For some they just want a quiet piece of land to spend time with family and a rocking chair on the porch.

I've since had to do a service call for the fridge and had to replace the oven recently as the repair was going to be about as much as a newish used one that was in great shape. 

Flips, parks, land - you name it.

As long as you do right by your tenants, you'll be in good shape.  

Jay,Thanks for the thoughts. 3 investors who have all lent in the past for various projects with other operators.My understanding is that if we own the land/dirt then it would be in an LLC.

That is important.Personally it only makes sense if you get 25% down, its on vacant land or on a home that cannot sell in the open market.

.- You close on December 10th- The property is in great shape and does not need any significant repairs- It only needs some paint touch-up and changing a couple of broken fixtures, which you do yourself- You spend the next week buying furniture, electronics and supplies and installing/arranging everything yourself- You also roll up your sleeves and scrub the toilets and sinks and appliances- You put it on AirBnB/VRBO and have your first guest renting it for the 3 days of Christmas- You second guest rents it for the following weekend and leaves before NYE- You personally clean and restock the place between these two guestsCongrats!
