I've considered investing in a paid mentor but I've heard so many mixed reviews about going that expensive route and a lot of those courses offerings by out of state gurus are one size fits all and not everything can apply to a state like NY.

Then you zoom in look at neighborhoods, A, B, C, D....

I'm totally aware it will be a lot of work, saving, budgeting, etc and am willing  I just wanted to know if 1-2 properties with 8-10 units sounded like it fit making 30-40k after expenses.     

Hello everyone,I know for determining ARVs it depends on a variety of factors (area, neighborhood, condition, comps, etc) but from what you've noticed in your own personal deals and the final appraisal what are some things within your control generally to increase ARVs?

I keep a bucket full of the extra slats from when I shorten them to fit, just in case someone breaks one or a dog chews on one.

And how does it fit into your goals and objectives?

I see abandoned homes in neighborhoods when driving by and I’ve tried looking online about how to find the owner and be able to contact them but I have to pay for everything.

Check the cashflow, the neighborhood, and have your lawyer review any agreement, check, check.
