I’m from Cameron NY as the location thing wouldn’t allow me to put my town I live in for some reason.The first step is just to get appointments with people who say they're interested in selling.

As we reflect on the challenges faced during the financial crises of 2007-2012 and draw parallels to the current market conditions of 2024, one concept stands out: the “Missing Middle.”The term “Missing Middle” refers to the scarcity of housing options between single-family homes and large-scale apartment complexes.

Hi all,I've heard several people mention using OPM to invest in real estate.

I'm not necessarily looking to invest in this area (probably upstate), but looking to meet people in the area I can learn from/build a like-minded community to keep me motivated.

Also open to any recommended resources or people who are knowledgeable on Texas tax auctions.

Social Media is great but again just not where most people look for rentals, I don't think you'll see a return on investment for 5k monthly. 

The Palms saw prices sky rocket when people found out they had the potential to make $50k - $70k and they were selling for $170k- $300k.

Still shocks me there are people on this earth that will allow someone to take over their loan payments that could impact their credit.

G'Day Trevor,Just posted the same below to another investor asking about turnkey and my advice stays the same 😁There aren't many "true" turnkey companies around anymore and I've seen a trend where investors want to DIY out of state and country.Personally, I think this is an even bigger recipe for disaster than buying turnkey.But that's just my opinion.Back in the day you had many "turnkey" companies selling crappy properties in crappy areas for a lot more than market value.Then they pass you on to a 3rd party PM that nickel and dimes you to death.Granted, if you want to DIY I would always advise moving to the market that you want to invest in.Spending enough time with key people needed to make your venture a success.Yep, easier said than done 🤷‍♂️If you DIY from out of state, you will probably find an "investor friendly" agent that will flog you expensive property from the MLS, refer a "good" contractor and then you will most likely also get nickel and dimed by a referred "trustworthy" PM.IMO, you are safer finding a reputable turnkey provider in a market that you want to invest in and go from there.If $#%@ hit's the fan (Which it always does in real estate), at least you have everyone to blame under the same roof.A true turnkey provider will have everything an out of state investor would/want and need under the same roof.No finger pointing is allowed lolI'm bias as we offer turnkey so take my words with a grain of salt.Just happy to offer my 0.2 Aussie cents.Wishing you much success
