A lot of flippers and turnkey companies taking advantage of "hyped up investors" and selling them Class C & D rentals without telling them the whole story.Not sure there's anything wrong with the Memphis market, but did hear Nashville is slowing.Detroit is still growing and we've helped a lot of investors with "BRRR Turnkeys":1) We help source a "fixer-upper", but don't really care who you buy it with2) We handle the renovations, providing bids & video completion updates3) We find a tenant4) We manage the property It's cheaper than buying a Retail Turnkey AND you know exactly what rehab was done and the quality of all the work that gets hidden behind drywall:)DM us if we can help with anything else.

Gotta have some skin in the game. 

Views, indoor pools, game rooms and proximity to attractions.

Flying in monthly helps, but having a local contact (realtor, manager, or trusted partner) is key for regular updates.Use tools like progress photos, video calls, or project management apps to stay connected, and schedule visits at critical stages of the project.

Dear Wilkes-Barre-Scranton area, my name is Gabe and I'm relatively new to the real-estate game- but I'm eager to learn.

There is a reason we lenders require "skin in the game" and experience.

I don't think I need to have that exactly figured out on day 1 of my first rental purchase, I need to get into the game. 

To me it’s a challenging game, an intricate puzzle where if you learn how to play you get great results.

The walkthrough videos are very helpful. 

Should I re evaluate what strategy I should use and maybe look further out in places such as Rochester and BRRR properties out thereHey @Jared Leggett, I know I'm jumping in here late in the game, and I have to admit that I haven't read all the many comments you've gotten, but I wanted to provide what I imagine and glean is a contrary view.It is easy to dunk on NYC for young investors starting out, but if you are a first time homebuyer you can buy a $1M property with $35k down (+ closing costs which can be avoided with seller's concessions).
