Last year, they ceased syndication with Zillow for marketing and it's killing me. 

Evening from Alaska, My business partner and I are new to real estate investing and trying to get our first deal going in a high-interest rate market.

These areas are more stable, but you would have to put effort into finding below market deals.

You will gain so much knowledge from the experts in your market and also may find someone who is in the same boat of you.

I'm particularly passionate about cultivating an extremely tenant-satisfaction-focused mission in order to distinguish myself in the rental market. 

They followed up right away on my pre-approval application that I submitted online.The appraisal (which usually seems to be a bottleneck with other lenders) reached out right away, even before my term sheet was finalized.Now here is where I feel a bit frustrated with their product marketing and what I actually got.

Would really like any insights you all may have on the potential (if you have worked in them) in these markets and if you feel there is opportunity in all 4 stages of our strategy in that city. 

How will you market the property?

@Freddy HernandezUtilities are based on whatever market you are in.

Hey Jose - if you're working with $15k i'd examine your local market to see if there is an opportunity to house hack if you want to work solo.If you're opening to partnering - I'd reccomend attending your local REIA meetings to see who is looking for a partner / capital.
