Prices remain elevated and depending on where you are targeting, it will be $550K+ for any "ok" duplex around Pierce, Kitsap and Thurston Counties.

Western Australia’s resource-anchored economy remains vulnerable to global commodity shocks that can swiftly shift market sentiment, while an overreliance on outer-ring stock or oversupply in specific growth corridors could elevate liquidity and pricing risks.In a fragmented national housing market, Perth stands out for its blend of yield, affordability, and infrastructure-led upside.

The feedback is greatly appreciated.I should have been more concise -, the goal is to shake things up and elevate the tools available to real estate investors like yourself.

With high interest rates and elevated home prices, it's very common right now to see negative or low-cash-flow deals — especially when using realistic expense assumptions like yours.

@Ryan Berg,You're asking a great question, and you're definitely NOT doing it wrong- the market for STRs has tightened a lot, and finding strong cash-flowing properties in popular, high-priced markets like Frisco, CO or Traverse City, MI is getting tougher, especially with today’s interest rates and elevated home prices.That said, since you're still a W2 earner, you're in a powerful position to take advantage of one of the biggest real estate tax strategies available-cost segregation and bonus depreciation via the STR loophole.You don’t need to keep the property in STR status forever to unlock the tax benefits.The STR tax loophole (Material Participation Rule) only requires that you materially participate in the property during the first year when you take the bonus depreciation.

You're welcome on the lists mate hehe 👍 (No, not sending to anybody else as Luka has Balkan heritage I'm assuming and so do I so we look after each other haha).Wholesalers are a disaster and all of your equity/profit will go to them.I suggest cold calling yourself, learn/practice your pitch and then elevate and delegate.My folks have been doing just acquisitions for many years now but all good things take time.All the best mate

It makes the space feel welcoming and elevated.

The first day of the seminar was motivational speaking, telling ppl how to become rich with this deal (still not mentioning anything about buying left overs or OTC deeds)  Every presenter gave same little speech, of course they all said "You don't need money" and keep pushing their lender, which is pretty much themselves with a different name asking for 3% interest a month...

If you live in a Special Flood Hazard Area, you may need to provide an Elevation Certificate in order to receive accurate rates.
