I compiled an actual diary of 6 years worth of my own personal real life real estate deals.Complete with all numbers and photos.Just so you know it's not all sexy and fancy all the time.Ordinary people still build wealth every day...the old fashioned way.Without some fancy strategy of "syndication" or super-risky use of leverage.No loans from dad and mom.Nothing.Just common sense traditional disciplined investing.I put all of that in a member blog post you can access here:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8290/64353-no-...Let me know your thoughts.Charles.

And all of the above is compiled with the effort of doing this using an FH Renovation Loan.

I believe that successfully navigating this initial investment will pave the way for future opportunities, whether in the same market or elsewhere.Living in New York City, I faced a challenging market ;)I chose Montgomery, Alabama.Here's my process:I compiled a list of states with favorable landlord laws.Using Brightinvestor, I identified cities within those states where the median home price falls below the national average ($420k).I excluded cities with negative income growth and rising unemployment rates.I focused on cities with strong appreciation rates over the past five years (over 10%).I compared price-to-rent ratios.I did break two rules: Montgomery has a slight decline in population, and its largest employers are an Air Force base and government agencies.One significant factor that influenced my decision was the promising price-to-rent ratio, suggesting potential for positive cash flow (though I remain cautious about appreciation).Regarding my acquisition strategy:I plan to employ the BRRR method with cash.

I have access to a  Probate list ,compiled by a reputable local company, which I am trying to understand & dissect. 

The trick with Facebook ads is to test a'lot of different things and compile what works into a single strategy.  

Hoping to compile some advice for start up and operations of a property management company.

While research still needs to be done and physically viewing the properties, I have compiled a list of homes where appraisals, comps, and past sale prices far exceed the asking price.
