I'm particularly interested in what tactics people have implemented for sourcing quality deals (not the I need 100% financing bs)Would you:1.

In fact, I help professionals generate leads and streamline operations by assisting with VA hiring, ensuring that time is spent on high-impact activities.• Key Piece of Advice: One thing I wish I’d known sooner is that networking here is about cultivating long-term relationships rather than just quick wins.

Maintenance and potential repairs will also require a long-term financial plan and setting aside a contingency fund for such expenses.The steady cash flow, appreciation over time, and tax benefits can make a meaningful difference to your wealth in the long term, especially with the principal paydown on the mortgage.However, if managing the property from a distance feels too burdensome, or if you’d prefer the certainty and flexibility that comes with having less debt (especially given the high mortgage rates), selling and using the $100,000 in equity to reduce your loan for your next home may be the smarter move.

Highly recommend.

To attract investors, offer incentives like high cash flow potential and tax benefits, and structure the deal with clear legal terms and contingencies to minimize risk.Good luck!

I know it is still down season, so listings are thin (especially for MF which is our preferred route), but it is starting to discourage me; like we've already missed the train of cheap debt and rapid appreciation/inflation that so many others took advantage of in recent years.Are my expectations set too high for my target area?
