I think it may be beneficial if you clarify what kind of strategy you're looking at. You might get responses more applicable to what you're trying to hear about. SFH, MFH, Flips, BRRRR, Subto, Foreclosures, etc.

For me personally, I kept forgetting about exterior property maintenance. Lawncare and landscaping, pest control, septic cleanout, etc.

Many mistakes! We didn't choose accurate comps, we "questimated" rehab and other important costs. We had an idea on rent/sales price but should have consulted with property manager.

You learn as you go!

@Patrick Flanagan just wanted to make a generic comment here. Investing in real estate out of state should be throughly researched than just a projected cash flow. Hope people can google first “how to find a market for real estate” and go thru all the xyz variables before jumping on!

I can't comment on good or bad, there are definitely a lot of them out there. And there are pros and cons with investing with that approach.

Aj has already mentioned the pros.

It is not a good way if you want to scale, and that too fast.

If you read the BRRRR book by David Greene, he says when you are buying turnkey, you are building wealth for someone else.

Let's say you buy something for 200k. The company from which you bought it, essentially got the property for free, because they used the BRRRR method, and now you get that cash flowing property, but you are also out 200k.

If you take the time and effort to teach yourself the BRRRR method, that 200k can easily buy you two properties (like very easily). Maybe even three, four..... you get the point.

So yeah, choose your poison. Either buy turnkey but be out of money, or do BRRRR but put in the hardwork. I lean towards BRRRR because it is a skill, once you learn it, it stays with you for lifetime.

Hi Quentin, I would love to connect and discuss the BRRRR strategy or investing out of state. Feel free to reach out.

@Quentin Jivery To find cash buyers, you can either pull a list online, or you can try Facebook Groups. I have done a ton of networking through Fb Groups and it is a great way to meet local investors.

I would also recommend going to local REIAs and Auctions. A lot of the major local investor players will be at these events. 

That is such great advice! Any advice on how to find off market homes?

 Hey I think that was a great idea I'm also trying to find cash buyers for my projects I think I will go on Facebook groups and look for my cash buyers thanks again

Start by finding your cash buyers. Look aggressively and relentlessly for 20 cash buyers and build relationships with them
