You could make more money just sitting on your hands, holding the property as it is rising, access equity from the property...rinse and repeat.In a rising market my strategy is to now ACCUMULATE property, load up, volume will make more $, and keep identifying rising marketsHere is an example of a flip we completed last year in Atlanta.

My agent reached out to the attorney's office and now I have this email from them:"We received the recorded deed back from the court, but upon receipt and review for issuance of the owner's title policy, noted the legal description did not contain enough identifying information. 

We are challenged with identifying equity and cash flow split. 

On side way / bear market, it take a lot of skills to identify opportunities. 

They help identify underperforming properties and drill down to find out why.  

They are not specifically identified in the CCR's.

The first thing you migh need to do is walk your existing property and identify every single existing room with exact or near exact measurements noting in particular walls as some can exist as load bearing walls, important structural members for the exisiting structure, Make a scaled down drawing of the exisiting .Use for example 1/4 inch equals to 1 foot.

Now knowing these things it helps me identify homes that fit my goals a little better and narrow the search.

Another thing to keep in mind is to know or identify  what it is  you can bring to the deal yourself  whether it is  the property that you have  or whether it's  your  experience in something else such as rehabbing or  some sort of niche  that makes  having you in on the deal valuable

My extensive knowledge and background in construction allows me to identify good and sound buildings when I see one.I came across an opportunity to buy a property built in 2018 which consists of  5 units at an asking price of $875,000.00 All 5 units are rented and bring $94,000.00 / yearMarket demand can bear an increase of rents by 10% I am very familiar with the area and I believe the price is below market value for a number of reasons.
