Quote from @Sahil Tadwalkar: It really depends on the area, that margin seems low as some people said.. 85%.

My goal is to start with cash flowing SFH's in the $80-$150K price range.I’ve been doing my research on neighborhoods like Frayser, Raleigh, Whitehaven, and Hickory Hill, but I’d love to hear insights from those already investing here who know more than I.

We have renters there now and they cover the mortgage with a bit of cash flow ($100/month), but the property is going to need some more major updates (windows, roof, HVAC, siding) within the next 5 years as they are starting to be at the end of their useful lives.We would like to pay off our primary residence as quickly as possible to “free us” from mortgage payments on our primary residence.My questions are below:1.

People rent (or buy) for three main reasons: Price, Condition, and Location.While we can’t change a property’s location, we can control the other two.Every property we list is clean, move-in ready, and presented in its best light.

People who aren't in the industry don't know the difference between the two, but it is important to point out that you are building modular. 

I started on that before I graduated to Buildium. 

Hi everyone,I'm currently on an H1B visa, and while my green card might be processed around early 2027, I'm eager to start building a real estate portfolio now using the BRRRR strategy.I'm planning on being passive—doing rehabs through contractors, using a property management company, using hard money lenders, and then refinancing to conventional loans.My W-2 company's immigration attorney mentioned I can only have one rental property, which didn't quite make sense to me.

While many of the requirements are "good" in theory, like backflow prevention devices on hose bibs, to me it is unfair if they don't require this on every house vs just rentals.While some people think it adds a level of safety or "upgrade" to the community, to me it is a cost and that cost will be passed on to the tenants, who could by choice decide to live in a house without the checklist vs living in one that requires the checklist.To me it is a violation of the 4th Amendment....illegal search and seizure. 

The property I purchased already has a tenant in place so I will start cash flowing the very first month.
