All of my customers in NJ, NY, CT, CA, WA and other states are all buying in those states as well as a few others.The price to cash flow ratio is going to be better in those states as well as having a higher inventory of both single family and multifamily rental homes.

If you pay them diret and hint to them the comps you suggest because you're trying to come in lower, then they are more likely to do that.To me, I would just use a couple of low end sold comps and call it a day. 

Those are the markets I go after, because if I go a few notches about that I know I can easily be in the top 5%.  

(Including building a team because I know all of it at some point is going to be too much for just me to handle).

@Andre Jones Hey, feel free to DM me I'll share a few references, 

I think the Edmonton condo market is going to be the fastest riser in the major metros moving forward. 

Check meetup.com for some options, and local REIA's.

I know this might be hard to follow but hope it makes sense!

Hey I’m 17, living in the US and I’m trying to learn about real estate investing, what are the steps in this business, what’s the best way to go about it and I think a discord would be really helpful for me to understand.

I am willing to go as high as $480k for this place.
