My client recently got under contract on a BRRRR that is purchase price $245k, rehab is $35k, and the ARV is $350k.

Taking a 15 year mortgage will hemorrhage your debt to income ratio and make it difficult to qualify for more home purchases in the future. 

I’ve been a member since November of 2024 and my review of Rent to Retirement was based on my experience purchasing a rental from out of state which went very well compared to other experiences I’ve had to go through.

I think if you just attend any group, you'll find investors that purchase remote and local and you'll be able to learn.

I've helped a lot of investors in your area, and I find that many of them end up purchasing rentals in the Central Valley for the very reason you mentioned.  

Hey Cameron, for experienced investors I can lend up to 100% of the purchase and rehab costs on 1-4 unit properties.

@Rosette PooleRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

You mentioned you haven't purchased an investment property before or been involved with seller financing transactions.

Purchase price: $355,500 Cash invested: $75,000 Rental Property near community college What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

What this leads to is higher purchase prices but also higher rents in these areas.
