One of those options is to let the tenant know you won't renew their lease, then offer them the opportunity to leave early if they find another rental.

Not even one good investment opportunity over there!

Sure, you can make a few quick trades, but the playground monitors (a.k.a. the law) might notice, and you’ll miss out on the bigger opportunities and loyal customers.So, while skipping the license might seem easier, it’s not the best way to win at the toy game in the long run.I have this talk with 10-15 people each month at our Free Meetups here in MA, NH, and ME.

HOWEVER, I'm not to big on taking a % of each deal after the fact like certain franchise opportunities.   

Sounds like a pretty easy way to get in over my head fast, but at the same time, it seems like an opportunity to pick up a property WAY under market value and there theoretically should still be plenty of meat on the bone.

I'm open to all opportunities at this point.

Hey guys, I’m newer around the Conroe area and I’m looking to connect with fellow real estate individuals, Contractors, investors, etc.I’ve been an electrician for 10 years mostly in the commercial space, I’ve doubled in general contracting and project management in Utah, but have moved down here in search of better opportunities.

But it sounds like a good opportunity for someone like Eric and many other Canadians. 

Hey Anthony, I acquire properties local to Phoenix and similar to what others have said on the thread, it's as close to dead as can be.The only time I see it actually work out to the 1% rule is on Section 8 properties, which can be great investment opportunities despite the stigma around them.

I’ve had to widen my search radius to smaller suburbs or target properties needing light cosmetic work to make the numbers work.Value-add opportunities: Adding amenities tenants love, like finished basements or upgraded kitchens, seems to justify rent premiums in this market.Navigating the competition:Be creative with financing: Seller financing or partnering with other investors has been helpful to secure deals when conventional offers didn’t cut it.Work with local agents and wholesalers: They often have their finger on the pulse of off-market opportunities, which is critical in a hot market.For those new to suburban Chicago investing, I’d say the key is finding the “sweet spot” neighborhoods—ones on the rise but not yet maxed out in price.
