Prioritize positive cash flow.When vetting a deal if you're looking for appreciation see where you can implement forced appreciation, where you, the investor have some control rather than being at the mercy of market appreciation.Forced appreciation could be done in the form of operational (changing out property management to enforce rent increases, getting rid of delinquent tenants, reducing property expenses, etc.) or interior/exterior value-add work (unit renovation, amenity/facility upgrades, paint, roof, etc.)

Get a website, and make it credible.then implement strategies to find motivated sellers, (highest priority) and while you look for motivated sellers you can (don't have to, but you can) look for buyers.

@Kelly Cynamon, many of my clients have started to explore and implement the investment strategy of rent-by-the-room in the greater Atlanta market.

If you are, and you have the caps to to implement practices that a course/mentor/mastermind would offer, you will get value from it.

I recently came across this strategy and I am actually participating in a free workshop to learn about it and possibly implement this strategy into my real estate investing journey.

Another option would be a DSCR loan which is typically less stringent on lending requirements that an FHA or conventional loan.

I'd be interested to hear from people who have tried to implement something like that- pros or cons.

We’re currently renting and I would like to implement creative financing strategy to purchase our first home in order to start building equity instead of continuous rent payments.

Our construction costs are expensive because our building code is much more stringent than anywhere else in the state (making our buildings saver).

I would continue to implement the BRRRR Strategy to grow your portfolio.
