- best markets to buy?

The rule states that 75% of market rents for all units must be more than the total mortgage payment.

I think the real question should be what is the best CRM specifically for the real estate market (e.g. rentals, lending, etc.) - and that one I am still waiting for someone to come up with on.

I am starting out in my real estate investing journey and was hoping to see if fellow investors recommend pursuing short sales, banked owned properties and foreclosures, versus pursuing typical MLS properties or off market properties with distressed properties or sellers.  

At about what percentage of market value? 

Marketed the property for $179,000 and went under contract and closed for $186,000.

And it works in any real estate market depending on your needs.  

If you cannot find what you’re looking for in your market and you don’t want to invest too far, consider pivoting to a single family home.

Unlike the stock market, you can also use leverage, which could significantly increase your ROI.The bottom line is that you can get better returns investing in alternatives (real estate or otherwise) and more control investing in real estate (you have zero control over the stock market).

Hey BiggerPockets Community,I’ve been working with off-market properties in the Nashville area and have come across some intriguing opportunities with strong ROI potential.
