I am content with the several I have.......My strategy is to leverage & refine the ones that work.But, (conservative forms of) Option Trading, (definitely not for the faint hearted), is the one I enjoy the most.

Purchase price: $410,000 Cash invested: $25,000 4/4 beauty with an open floor plan in the heart of Noda.

That being said, and yes I'm a technology person by trade and heart, but for the pricing model for my properties, I try and keep it as simple as possible.

I live in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, in an area called Victoria Park.

The market has softened and Appraisers know it and most values are coming in 20% - 25% lower than the investor was using in their numbers.This is one of those nightmare situations that keeps the faint of heart away from investing and why projects cost a whole of a lot more than just the down payment.One thing I do to offset this risk for my clients is to have a 100 - 120 day close to close project. 

I held off because I didn’t have the heart.

Hulu streaming has a call center in town, there's a big medical center, it's military city, lots of historical attractions, and rapidly growing in restaurants, entertainment, etc.Austin is my hometown but locals are being priced out and expanding to outskirts and further than inner city.The other thing we must consider is COVID really opened up remote opportunities so people don't necessarily have to live so close to the city or close to the office - what this does for investors is give us an opportunity to search outside of areas like the heart of SA or Heart of Austin but look to other nearby cities.

Sanford is a lovely little town situated in the heart of NC, supporting a population of just under 31,000 and employing about 13.3k people (-0.55% year over year).

However, I think the agent should have done some part of their job and should have kept our best interest at heart as well.

A solution I've had that works wonders if able is to go to the tenant, have a heart to heart conversation, tell them it's just not working out and as a result you're suffering too.
