They have access to raw data on your neighborhood and can show you the standard DOM (days on market) and the list to sale price (how much are homes listed for versus what price do they actually sell for?). 

Going rent is $1600-1700Our long term goal is to acquire multiple rental properties and this would have been our first BUT now I’m thinking it would probably be best to sell and buy something that cash flows better?

My pitch is that if it’s worth only 2m today but with the interest over X period of time I’m meeting them in the middle, defraying/postponing their taxes all the while acquiring the property at the right price is a win win for all....

We are just living below our means and acquiring property when we can. 

Always good to see someone from Queens becoming active on Bigger Pockets.Your property management experience will prove to be very helpful in the future as you move onto acquiring multiple rental properties.

Definitely will do some odds and ends to increase some additional quick equity and do a cash out in 6 months to try and get half my money back to acquire another rental.

Hello everyone! Newbie here. I need some advice on utilizing my current equity. I am unable to use a traditional cash out refinance due to unquantifiable DTI ratios. I am interested in paying down some higher interest...

This equity (or 75%-80% of it) can be accessed through refinancing every few years or you can let it continue to grow and capture all of it selling the home later.I really like these deals, but it depends if you are looking for cash flow or net worth growth.Avon and Brownsburg are really great areas to check in to... but the numbers have to work.

I’m really interested in using a Brrrr approach to acquire a portfolio of rentals.

If you were asked you to perform an in-depth market research analysis for single family investment properties in a market you were unfamiliar with, where would you start and what processes would you employ to acquire data regarding which neighborhoods would offer the best return and stability?
