Buying in your backyard eliminates so much for you.What strategy do want to follow?   

Quote from @Lorenzo Lopez: Hello all,I am trying to do my first deal/buy my first MF property but I haven't been able to move the needle.I am focusing on Small MF (2-4 units), with a value-add strategy.

And that data will come from MLS Avaliable lots etc etc..

@Treza Edwards "I am reading the Rental Property Investing book and implementing the method that focuses on cash flow and that strategy states you need to have $300 cash flow per month, per property.

I used to do BRRRR strategy here but now only do flips and help with others' house hacking or flipping.I had to move my BRRRR strategy side of the business to Tyler Texas.Are you still investing locally or only out of state?

What do you guys think about this strategy of opening up a HELOC in hopes of freeing up some of my other capital.  

Dig deep into tax strategy, tax efficiency, etc  Learn about estate planning. 

Hey @Scott Vaeth,That 6% tax hit in South Carolina is definitely a big factor to account for in your BRRRR strategy.

Provide them proof of your ability to find, fix, flip (or whatever strategy you plan to use), and then start with small amounts of their money.

So I wouldn't hurry to jump into a program right away, but take time to learn your options and find one that fits the strategy/location you want to pursue.
