Whilst I run to get my real estate license for the MLS I wanted to get somewhat of a feel for the market, what better way to do that then ask someone who's already invested. 

Hit me up if you want to chat in depth about the market!

I think what is becoming more and more important is having a solid investment thesis and understanding of your target market and the value proposition you are offering to your customers through your properties. 

@Shannon L Fogarty I’m personally a fan of working with local lenders who know all the nuances of their market and how to get deals done.

It is high because of the free market.

Initially, we plan to invest in lower-risk opportunities such as arbitrage to gain a better understanding of the market.

We use it on properties bought off market, but it can be used with turnkey or MLS properties as well.

But I know that I've never seen a property sell at auction in our market that was any where near enough of a deal to really whole saleAlso- you're buying the house outright with cash, IF you found a killer deal then I think you'd actually have to close then re-sell to an investor.

A beautiful property that has been successful so far in its first year on the market.
