Then I get out and walk/drive around.  

@Josh LansberryIt’s exciting that you’re ready to take action in the Raleigh/Research Triangle market, an area with strong growth potential.

I do a meetup in Mesa on Saturday morning's which is a good place to come meet even more RE professionals and investors.You have the experience so now you just need the right strategy to grow the portfolio.

He believes that area where he will be buying the new homes is going to appreciate and attract more MTRenters, but now, the big difference is that he would now have 3 properties that can go up (or potentially down) in value, go up (or down) in rent, and three times as many vacancies to fill.My back of the napkin assessment is that for only a drop in $200 a month in cash flow, he would control a lot more assets with growth potential and as rents rise over the coming years, the combined rents will increase to a total more than the single rent.HOWEVER.

Existing deals will instead be saved by NOI growth driven by rent growth--if you have the staying power to hold on long enough.Supply:  High deliveries remain today mostly because of "hang over" from projects that are taking longer to complete than developers (and industry analysts) expected. 

From digging into real time market data and calcualting cash flow.. to literally driving for dollars, you want someone with an incredible network of pros who can unearth leads (probate attorneys, divorce attorneys, local fix and flip circles) that might connect you with a ready buyer or flud tenant.

It is an old house but has been completely gutted and rennovated in a Midwest state with a flatline population growth.

While I don’t own investments there, I’ve explored the market and see potential for some long-term growth.

The rebound in single-family home sales is impressive, but what really catches my eye is the inventory growth and the trends in townhomes and condos. 

This is also (historically) where the best appreciation is, and our growth continues to feed that well past the covid boom.
