BTW, now a majority of our clients are not capital allocators but sponsors doing their own deals as they like the investor experience and significant savings vs doing one syndication at a time.

That isn’t the easiest / safest first foray into real estate ownership.

(Always remember that)I’d recommend diving into some BP forums, work with other agents (some of them, like my team have GREAT Off Market Opportunities) for distressed properties — there are also plenty of investors here who can offer insights and tips on improving offer terms, timing, and strategies.Remember that building a strong network of agents and wholesalers in your target market could be a GAME-CHANGER, helping you get ahead of deals before they even hit the market.Keep us updated on your journey!!

@Stepan Fedetskiy section 8 can be good option if you have a good PM who maintains the property in good shape all the time as per the needed standards. best part is govt pays a portion of the rents so you dont have to chase tenants, downside the upkeep of the unit will eat up appx 20%. so its little tricky..sounds good on paper but when you go through one you will get an idea. i had 4-5 section 8's , 3 of them had no issues, but 1 of them had lot of issues and ate up all the profits.
