I focus on rural, single family and duplexes.

Focusing on all-in 200k.

Focus on understanding financing options like FHA, conventional, or creative strategies, and practice analyzing deals to build confidence.

Or should I focus entirely on building cash flow and leveraging real estate?

While it might be good to focus on newer 3/2/2 homes, if you catch a deal that is 2/1 and in the city next door to your target, it is always something to consider.

Some focus purely on numbers, while others look at long-term value, location trends, or creative financing strategies.For those of you investing in Chicago (or similar markets), whats your mindset when evaluating off-market opportunities?

Based in Santa Monica, focused on out-of-state markets with strong growth.Not here for sales pitches, just real connections, real deals, and real conversations.

If you want to be an agent focus on that.

But by thinking beyond the traditional wholesaler mindset and focusing on off-market acquisitions, this deal turned into an easy win.Not all motivated sellers are dealing with distress.

Quote from @Celli Mowery: As a BP binge listener, investor and agent, I'm curious why smaller areas of Kentucky are not receiving focus with their low land costs, & lower entry points?
