The upper unit is not generating enough to pay the mortgage, insurance, taxes and it is COSTING me $550 a month to own this property.  

Just want to understand private investors better so I know the kinds of deals I need to look for to generate the kinds of returns people expect.

You may come out ahead taking on smaller projects where it's easier to generate lower risk equity and returns and then taking those gains down the line to help your parents.

For buyers, notes can generate steady income without the headaches of managing tenants.Curious—has anyone here invested in real estate notes before?

I like your lead generation approach here.

Hey everyone,I’m actively searching for single family houses to buy and flip (or Wholesale if the opportunity arises) and always looking for better ways to generate off-market leads.I’ve been experimenting with Facebook ads to target motivated sellers, but I’d love to hear from others who are doing the same.

@Jonathan Buchanan I work for Carrot - we're already seeing members generate leads through their site from ChatGPT.

the amount of real estate you'd need to own free and clear to generate income comparable to what you're making right now is probably a lot more than you think.i hope this helps - i don't mean to be discouraging but long term rentals are a grind and just don't generate a ton of passive income. 

Our group has worked on hundreds of properties, partnering with landlords and investors seeking true peace of mind, generating over $9.6M in passive rental income each year.It wasn't hard to jump to the wrong conclusions I saw "Furnished Rental Specialist" which interests me, your business page is boosting over 9Mil in rental income on STR & MTR ... so yeah, in this market...New member, no last name, no area stated. embellishments and word salads.

You do have to have sales skills and a great follow up process but ifthe lead is free first, you're paying more in commissions every timewithout sharpening your sales skills.I've been in both positions as an Acquisition Manager.Except, I was either paid a fixed salary or I can get a big % of every deal closed on theprofit of the total rehab when the house sells.A fixed salary made me incredibly lazy, because no matter what happenedwith a lead, there seemed to be no loss.Until I looked at my numbers when I switched to a higher commission pay structure only.Isn't that funny how it was the opposite scenario of paid lead generation?
