Given that many of the hot markets are so competitive and the prices on turnkey-ish properties have already increased in these areas, such that it is hard to achieve the 1% recommendation.. 

@Steve Keirn Dayton has an incredibly supportive investor community and it sounds like you found your way to it already.

The information is incredible and guiding us through the process is much smoother and feel more confident when facing new hurdles.

All new TPO roof $10k, all new plumbing and 4 hot water heaters $10k, completely gutted all 4 kitchens $15k, 16 new windows $8K, interior paint throughout, 4 new toilets and vanities, flooring in 2 complete units.

@Zeke Liston I hear German Village is hot.

Use it to to cover you while you keep flipping as many properties as you can right now while the market is hot because it will not be this hot forever so you want to make as much cash as you can right now, invest the cash into multifamily properties then pay of loans with cashflow from the rental properties. 

I walked into the bank asking for a loan like a hot mess lol.

I have not completed any transactions- but my local market is so hot at the moment. 

I keep hearing of a “cooling period” across the US but the Austin RE market seems so hot.

The BP forums and podcasts have been incredible tools for the past few months as I've been searching for the right property for me to begin my young RE investing venture.
