local REIA groups are filled with investors looking to buy properties.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

I have a certain ratio per100 headcount (not households, not age, not sex) I use when decidingto buy or build in a town.

If you ever have the time and feel comfortable sharing your experiences and tips, I'd be happy to buy you a coffee.

I have the option to buy a 1,300-sqft 3-bed, 1.5-bath house in South End neighborhood of Stamford, CT, from a family member before it goes on the market.

The way wholesalers get around this is by claiming to simply be marketing the contract and not the property itself (hard to do legally), or by doing a double close (buying the property then reselling it immediately).

Especially in today's high interest rate environment, a low income buyer is usually going to be better off renting than buying.

I highly suggest working with an investor friendly agent so you don't buy in the wrong locations.I like the west side of Cleveland.

You’re going to have to buy at least $1M (or whatever you clear after selling costs.), worth of replacement properties, not $500k.

From what I’ve seen in Bloomberg, it also doesn’t hurt to keep tabs on any shifts in local buying trends.One more thing I’d consider is the exit strategy.
