Quote from @Jason Sousa:
I work for KW and we belive in MODELS & SYSTEMS.
The Core Strategy: "Think long-term, buy and hold, and focus on cash flow."
Key Principles:
- Mindset and Goals:
- Think Long-Term: Real estate is a long term play in most cases
- Set Clear Goals: Define your financial goals and how real estate fits into your overall plan.
- Finding the Right Property:
- Location, Location, Location: Invest in areas with strong economic fundamentals, good schools, and low crime rates.
- Cash Flow is King: Look for properties that generate positive cash flow (rental income exceeds expenses).
- Consider Appreciation: While cash flow is primary, also consider properties in areas with potential for long-term appreciation.
- Financing:
- Get Pre-Approved: Get pre-approved for a mortgage before you start looking at properties.
- Leverage Wisely: Use leverage (debt) to your advantage, but don't overextend yourself.
- Consider Creative Financing: Explore options like seller financing or partnerships.
- Building Your Team:
- Real Estate Agent: Find an experienced agent who specializes in investment properties.
- Property Manager: Consider hiring a property manager to handle day-to-day operations.
- Accountant: An accountant can help you with tax planning and financial management.
- Attorney: Consult an attorney for legal advice and contract reviews.
- Managing Your Investment:
- Maintain the Property: Keep your property in good condition to attract and retain quality tenants.
- Screen Tenants Carefully: Conduct thorough background checks on potential tenants.
- Review Your Finances Regularly: Track your income and expenses and make adjustments as needed.
Example Action Steps:
- Set Your Goals: Define your financial goals and how real estate will help you achieve them.
- Educate Yourself: Read books and articles about real estate investing. Attend seminars or workshops.
- Build Your Team: Start networking and finding the right professionals to support you.
- Start Looking: Look for properties that fit your criteria and financial capabilities.
- Make an Offer: When you find the right property, make a fair offer and negotiate the terms.
- Close the Deal: Once you've reached an agreement, complete the necessary paperwork and close the deal.
- Manage Your Investment: Maintain the property, screen tenants, and review your finances regularly.
Make sure you have your criteria down, then financing and property selection is Easy!
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing your strategy on fix and flips. Your insights were incredibly helpful and have given me a new perspective on the process.
I appreciate the time you took to explain your approach, and I’m excited to apply some of your tips to my own investments.
Thanks again for being so generous with your knowledge!

I hope you're all doing well! I’m part of a real estate company specializing in cosmetic fix-and-flip projects, and we’re focusing on the San Antonio and Austin markets. We're particularly interested in finding off-market properties that could use some TLC to bring them up to their full potential.
Does anyone have tips on the best strategies for finding these hidden gems? Any recommendations on local networks or specific methods that have worked for you? I’m also open to hearing about any recent experiences or success stories you’ve had with off-market deals in these areas.
Looking forward to your insights and advice!
