Exactly if its a hot deal cash just means you beat out the next guy who needs financing does not mean deep discount .. at least in markets were RE is sought after.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

I'm a local realtor and investor, so I’d love to help you find the right property and navigate the market.

Natural appreciation usually takes holding the property for at least a few years (just depending on what the RE market does going forward).  

Many of these lenders allowing 2nds behind them are more expensive capital (10's - 13's in our current market [high rates - but now showing signs of coming down]).

I’m giving serious consideration to converting into a PadSplit.However, I have heard that Fort Worth (the city, Tarrant County, the faceless boogey man…) has issues with PadSplit whereas Dallas County is supportive.I would love to hear about your experiences between the two markets and if Fort Worth can be viable for PadSplit and anything I should be mindful of?

Recently, I became a licensed agent specializing in short-term rentals and multifamilies, particularly in vacation markets and Worcester County.I joined BiggerPockets to share insights, learn from others, and connect with investors who want to scale their portfolios.For those who are active on this platform:-What’s the best way to introduce myself and provide value here?

Depends on your goals and the current market.

You have many people who say midwest markets are now appreciation markets, but I disagree with that statement.

It took more than a decade but I am excited (and terrified) to re-enter the fray.After dipping my toes into the market, I have battled against my paralysis and taken the leap.
