@Zack KarpI was as transparent as can be I’ve owned my first home for 3 years now, this second home I’m looking at is a 30 minute drive away so I don’t understand why there would be an issue, especially since I want to sell my current home.

I believe that's most likely sustainable too because it is driven by out of staters moving in-right?

I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to analyze a property after driving for dollars in my areaThanks in advance for your time!

My hesitancy there is buying high in that market when I'm not sure that area will sustain the growth it's been seeing.

Do the small things every day to help you grow like one podcast, one chapter of a book, research one neighborhood, drive for dollars for an hour.

Go to NEFAR and look at what things are selling for to get an idea of where you want to "Drive". 

Also, should I spend the time to source off-market deals (driving for dollars/cold calling owners), or is relying on listed properties the way to go? 

Markets drive rates, rates dont drive the market.

For the past 2-1/2 weeks (took a week to realize and decide that I don't have much to lose except for a little bit of time, a little bit of gas, and a little bit of wear and tear on my vehicle) I've been doing Driving For Dollars to find these properties.

With those numbers the renters are going to rough it up and it will drive you nuts
