Once you have an understanding of what the landscape looks like and what path looks the most interesting to you in the long run, then narrow your focus and go all in.

You can adjust and start to narrow down those that will work for you.

Once those two things are accomplished then you can further target and narrow where you would like to purchase.

As far as what to look for, I think it helps to narrow down your criteria first.

You also do not want to have multiple lenders/brokers pulling your credit you want to narrow it down to (2) options.There is also "No haggling" with a true bank or credit union fees are set based on fair lending standards.

We've got a handful of candidates narrowed down by affordability, knowledge by association and places that just resonate/excite with us. 

It isn't easy to find contractors but you can start by getting a list of city licensed contractors and then narrowing your search from there. 

After reviewing the numbers, I decided to not go through turn-key model as I realized I could be more active and develop my own team on the ground.I had created criteria about renter to homeowner ratio, crime rate, employer base etc. to narrow down the markets.

Hello.First post here.Been watching podcasts and read a few BP books.Looking to invest OOS in an area with lesser barrier to entry than here on the wedge of the Oregon Coast where 2/1 sfr are $200k+.Been researching different areas to start narrowing down but unsure how to decide on an area.These are the areas I have narrowed down1.

I finally decided to narrow my criteria and do one of two things; find a property, pay the 25% down for a loan and rent it out or find a fixer upper and implement the BRRRR method.
