I think it depends on the market.. they approached me on a furnished rental I had in Vegas (Summerlin gated community A class)  We got basically double or a little more of the normal rent..

Make a decision and move forward.Don’t make things a bigger deal than they are.What do you think about the garage door color?

Are you looking to do long-term buy and hold or want to start with generating capital like wholesaling or fix and flip? 

Multifamily is optimal, but out of reach for many due to the price.Other options include doing a rent by the room situation.

How do you think choosing the right location in Texas impacts the success of a real estate business?

How do you work on the terms with your preferred realtor?

There are two idea I’m batting around in my head right now to get started on my REI journey – I can do it purely on the investing side and become a private lender or a source of hard money loans to builders/developers (maybe that looks like funding a construction loan collecting interest payments while buying time to better understand the dynamics and build relationships) or I can JV/partner with a builder and get equity (upside on a flip/sale) which would be more hands on.Curious what ya’ll input, what you think is the best route for me to dip my toes into REI given my aforementioned situation and current market.

Quote from @Tomer Einy: I would reach out to agents doing a lot of work in the area you want to be flipping..

How do you suggest I proceed?

It’s a good idea to start small and focus on what interests you most.
