@Brett Deas,there are several factors here:First, if your investor base is used to specific assets, where they have full(ish) visibility of the asset, convincing them to invest in a blind pool fund is hard.Second, it looks like you graduated high school a couple years ago, so presumably your track record is only 2 yrs old.  

Taxes are also paid up, however the place is vacant now and the grass is 2 feet high.

Focus on High-Impact Areas:Kitchens and bathrooms generally provide the best return on investment.

It is a very high cost of living and my landlord has been renting out the triplex for a little below market value for the past few years, however he is going to be selling the property ( all three units)  (This area is considered very nice and "shouldn't" depreciate in value. )I have been trying to deep dive into bigger pockets, reading bigger pocket books, watching videos but  a lot of the resources talk about multi-family properties as purely renting out all units and not actually living in one of the units. 

Hi everyone, Quick background, I'm a real estate investor with a high paying W2 job and credit score around 780.

Starting a new high-end residential spec project. 

You can self-manage but there is a high potential that you will be living in an uncomfortable environment when things get tough.

Some areas can have great success with even Circle Prospecting high value neighborhoods and telling them you have X buyer in your database that are looking for a home!

As the broker repping the selling, I always caution sellers on offers with high price and low EM.

This town is very small in population (population trend not growing) although has a community college that is less than half mile walking distance from ANY of the properties (community college population is growing at WELL above avg rate(dorm rate 850mth))
