You can grow your portfolio, maintain manageable risks, and still see some solid returns.

Hey @Zach Howard,Happy to connect with you and put you in touch with some solid individuals in Augusta, GA.

Having a solid team around you like agent, lender etc.

It is important to remember that a solid agent is not just opening doors for you, their biggest value would be in the negotiations and right now, buyers have a real advantage if one knows how to go about it.

Wholesaling can be a great way to learn a market and build capital, but holding rentals can provide steady cash flow and equity growth over time—especially in markets like Detroit, where entry prices are lower and rents are solid relative to costs.If you’d like to learn more about navigating Detroit, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to share some resources or insights from my experience.Best of luck in whichever direction you choose!

Seems pretty solid to me, no?

Couple hundred bucks a door monthly cash flow, solid ROI, and yes plenty appreciation (#1 appreciating city 2023).

With experience in construction and sales, you'll definitely be able to use those skills to your advantage when doing value-add deals.The better the deal is, the easier it will be to do the BRRRR method and you can find some of the best deals off-market, so it's important to build a solid network and create deal flow so you can see as many opportunities as possible. 

It’s humbing and frustrating, but it also teaches you those guardrails you’ll want next time.. like thorough screening, a solid lease agreement that sets ground rules upfront, and maybe even setting aside a bit more cushion in reserves.Chicago’s got plenty of investor-friendly pockets.

(Yes it still happens, but it is a lease violation, and we have a solid leg to stand on should we need to pursue eviction or collections later.)
