However, many states now require some version of a license to wholesale, so I'd identify a market first and then dig into their specific wholesaler requirements. 

Rise48 is raising preferred equity at a valuation that is not market, with income growth projections that are unreasonable, and putting $7,000,000 of new investor cash back in their pockets... $7,000,000!!

Valdosta GA Market Update: Jan 2025Happy New Year!!

Goal would be to acquire 20 rentals by the age of retirement, with some already starting to be paid off.I am in the same boat as you, and I focus on safe appreciation all day (small cash flow for safety and then focused on markets on that appreciate). 

I'm not super familiar with the real estate market in Couer d'alene like I am with East Idaho or even southern Idaho or the Treasure valley.

All channels can work, but in my experience, the greatest oppportunities often pop up when you know exactly what your returns need to look like and keep your ear to the ground in your market.

It goes to your preference, of course, but whichever can produce the greatest ROI should be considered.There are many markets in Michigan, for example, where it is cheaper to buy an existing house and fix it up than it is to build new.That may not be the case where you are at or through the construction suppliers and contractors you may have access to.To Your Success!

I would always lean towards markets that are landlord-friendly. 

Hi @Konstantinos Lembesis When Settling on a market develop some metrics that you can not only measure the market you are interested in but others that you havn't considered yet. 

I plan to manage the properties myself until it conflicts with my regular job.I would appreciate any advice on these markets to ensure success and connect with local investors.
