San Diego is a hard market to do that in.

But I try to encourage my clients to value time to market. 

In my previous role, I encountered numerous instances of real estate fraud, which opened my eyes to the importance of legitimacy and trust in this industry.After months of studying the markets and educating ourselves on the BRRRR method, we are thrilled to have potentially found our first deal, along with other promising prospects.

In today's market with high prices, high rates, and slower sales, I wouldn't recommend starting in flips unless you have a sure thing.

I would just say the biggest red flag here is "anything sounding too good to be true" - whether thats a hard money interest rate well below market, or 100% "no skin in the game" financing, etc. - those are the biggest red flags here IMO

Unsure your market.

If you find the right team and learn the market it is a great way to invest. 

When I hear "small market" I think 8-10 caps, but maybe my small isn't the same as yours.  

I am new to indianapolis market, looking to build my team and maily need good investor friendly agent right now. my goal is to buy here around 5 assets a year for rental, in the price for about up to 150K cash per property.Thanks in advance for the answers :)

Always think it is extremely important to note that Cap Rate does not drive value on Single Family Rentals since NOI is not the factor for the vast majority of the market - only really relevant for Multifamily and Commercial (BP audience is generally skewed towards residential not commercial investing)
