Cash-for-keys would be an early default strategy, right?

Gaining long-term equity and having renters cover most of your mortgage is a great investment strategy, especially if your local real estate market suggests that selling may not yield the desired returns at this time.Regarding your plans to purchase a home in Ohio with a lower monthly mortgage, I would suggest exploring the local real estate market and looking for a property that suits your needs while keeping costs manageable.

Additionally, explore alternative financing options or strategies that may better align with your long-term investment strategy.If you decide to pursue a hard money loan, research local hard money lenders in Virginia, and consider reaching out to multiple lenders to compare terms and rates.

Thank you for your insights in advance!

I'm curious if anyone has a written or graphic real estate acquisition strategy that they might be willing to share.

What guidance or strategies should a first-time investor seek when searching for a lucrative home investment?

I would recommend never taking that much rent in advance, it creates problems exactly like this.

Thanks in advance! 

I have funds totaling around 20k for a down payment (100k home), however for my planned strategy I’d like to target homes at max 200k which should require a 40k down payment.

Im a long term hold guy. these would all be for Brrrr strategy.
