I've been investing since 2018 and have 25 properties (37 doors) that are local to me that I self manage with my wife in central Florida.  

Check with your trusted local licensed electrician.

It is true that some lenders might look at your returns differently and most of the time we, as investors, stick to smaller, more local banks to get flexible lending. 

If you plan to expand your portfolio, starting with a 4-plex might provide a stronger foundation for future investments.It's also worth consulting with a local real estate agent or financial advisor who specializes in investment properties to get personalized advice based on your financial situation and market conditions.Best of luck with your investment!

Hi guys, I am self employed with no proof of W2s, i make a living buying cars at dealer auctions and leaving them on a local used car lot on consignment, I have $30k liquid and around $90k tied up in my current vehicles, usually my  vehicle inventory is sub 11, I want to get into the real estate game but in my situation im guessing its hard to get a good deal in getting a loan, I am single, no debt or responsibilities , ideally i would like to start with a single family home but in the current market so high i would even consider condos/town homes.

Just go on the local FB groups, deals everywhere, 

I've done a local renovation and I thought I was ready to do OOS BRRRR....nope. 

I'm having a hard time finding a local real estate attorney to handle our closings and contracts on the asset recovery side.

Collaborate with other wholesalers at local meetups. 

You'll want to get a local agent who can source off-market deals for you.
