Renting to a friend can complicate things, especially if you're starting below market rent.

Houston is a great market for JVs, wishing you both success! 

Hi Noy, Pittsburgh is a strong market for investors.

@Shane Regnier I've flipped a bunch of houses in Ocala but have yet to dabble in the rental market. 

It's not RTR's fault the property can't absorb proper cap ex, that's a product of the market.

I’m planning to buy my first property there using my VA home loan and would love to connect with local investors who are familiar with the market.

.🔹 Profit Multiple Ways – You can rent the property for cash flow, sell the option at a profit, or buy it later at a pre-agreed price (often below market value).🔹 Great for Sellers & Investors – Motivated sellers can turn a vacant or hard-to-sell property into income while investors secure future deals without a huge upfront commitment.🔹 Ideal in Any Market – Whether home prices are rising or falling, lease options allow you to lock in today’s price while benefiting from future appreciation.Other creative strategies—like seller financing, subject-to deals, and the BRRRR method—can also open doors, but lease options remain one of the most powerful, low-risk, minimal cash out-of-pocket ways to build a portfolio.

Hi Daniel, Columbus GA has properties much lower in price than the metro Atlanta area, you should do fine to learn your local market.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

I took my thrashing as you know in 2020  I do know some of my clients that sell turnkey have been keeping the houses and doing BRRRR instead of selling them to investors that part of the market has slowed signficantly for many in that industry.
