@Steven Seiberlich , I hope you can find an investing strategy that aligns with your goals, and would encourage you to decide whether you want to learn by trial and error (and hopefully eventually success), or leverage a program (with coaching, mentorship, on the ground resources, and analysis tools) to help you reach those goals.

Conduct thorough market research to understand rental demand, property appreciation potential, vacancy rates, neighborhood trends, and economic indicators.Please take some time to review your financial goals and develop a strong financial plan for acquiring and overseeing new properties.

My goal is to have my first property closed by end of 2024.

Again all of this varies depending on what you are trying to do, and other financial aspects related to you, but these are common aspects of deals, funding etc. 

Send me a Direct Message and I will be happy to point you in the top neighborhoods to focus on based on your investment goals, criteria and available time you have to spend on real estate investing.

By carefully following these steps and considering your goals, financial situation, market conditions, and property options, you can confidently make a well-informed decision on your investment.Good luck!

This may sound common sense, but I would ask if there is a tenant in place.

We plan on splitting our investments 50/50 and we both have very similar long term goals.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

I've heard of people spending more time and money on the land, utilities, roads, and common areas (especially if there's a bath house) than the units themselves.
