Are you able to say where this was in the Midwest?

Most economists would call this a bubble and when it pops the prices come crashing down to the level where they should be. 

Where would you like this information sent

However the PM  (LSI) did not have a local office, but they had a payment plan via CVS Pharmacy where the tenant could pay cash at CVS, I know it sounds crazy.Also,  as I questioned the PM, the ledger changed.

Consider properties that cater to home office needs or offer more space.Advice for fix and flip investors:- Focus on value-add opportunities: Look for properties where strategic renovations can significantly increase value.- Be cautious with pricing: While the market is still strong, avoid overpricing.

I personally heard this strategy from Gordon Moss but I'm sure it's been around for a long time.Just to be sure to give credit where it's due, this strategy was first told to me in 1979, by Jimmy Napier, author of the BEST book on note investing ever written 'Invest in Debt'.

I believe that successfully navigating this initial investment will pave the way for future opportunities, whether in the same market or elsewhere.Living in New York City, I faced a challenging market ;)I chose Montgomery, Alabama.Here's my process:I compiled a list of states with favorable landlord laws.Using Brightinvestor, I identified cities within those states where the median home price falls below the national average ($420k).I excluded cities with negative income growth and rising unemployment rates.I focused on cities with strong appreciation rates over the past five years (over 10%).I compared price-to-rent ratios.I did break two rules: Montgomery has a slight decline in population, and its largest employers are an Air Force base and government agencies.One significant factor that influenced my decision was the promising price-to-rent ratio, suggesting potential for positive cash flow (though I remain cautious about appreciation).Regarding my acquisition strategy:I plan to employ the BRRR method with cash.
