The market for buyers on QCD is going to be smaller so you are limiting your market with a QCD but we buy/sell homes all the time via QCD just need to find the right parties.  

But I also feel that over the last several years, many groups are getting greedy and wanting to be paid to transact more than buy good deals.  

We finally decided that we want to try to buy our first rental property.

Our goal is to start buying MF within the next year to two years.

I live in Orange County and I have been looking into some out-of-state investments for single family up to triplex for a buy and hold to build my rental portfolio.

I have 50k in equity built up and am looking to buy my first rental property, most likely a single family house.

Becoming a great time to buy. ;)

I recommend buying a 2-4 unit property to house hack rather than buy an individual apartment (condo or townhome).

We gather all documentation into a Google Drive folder for potential buyers, including:Renovation details (brochures, warranty cards)Pre-listing inspection reportPre-listing appraisalWell system documentationSeptic system documentationSharing this folder with agents and on the MLS helps create transparency, leading to bidding wars and waived inspections, often resulting in offers over the list price and fewer repair concessions.By identifying properties that fit the rural buy box for entry-level to mid-priced buyers and tackling major expense items upfront, we remove risk from the transaction.

You can do this every year if you want, its a great strategy to buy homes with minimal down!!
