Is Raleigh a good place to expand your multifamilly portfolio or is the market too competitive?

From what I’ve seen, some flippers are still willing to pay buyer’s agent commissions, especially if they want to attract more buyers and make their properties more competitive.

How do you find the best deals in a competitive market like Texas?

NYC market is very competitive, so I feel like the seller doesn't need to compensate anymore right now to hold me.

Be competitive in what you list your property for rent for if you want to get it filled quicker (about 10% below market rent or whatever else is up for rent nearby but you still also need to make sure the unit looks good/relatively updated when comparing to the others for rent - I look at what is on Zillow. 

Is there a community you are aware of that I could find a private lender that would be interested in terms like this and could provide the cash out refi shortly after rehab is complete with a competitive rate? 

Local HML if rates are competitive to me would be a better choice they will help in the buy decisions and keep you from making a big boo boo.

I wanted to build because the area I’m looking is pretty competitive with STR’s and it has to be something unique and attractive and I feel this will be easier to accomplish building new.

Prices are getting close to California levels and it might be difficult to find tenants with all the competition out there.

We have recently loosened our cancellation policies on most properties to remain competitive.
