Would love to understand the current renter's market in the area and how much I can forecast in rent in Forest Hill area. 

Be sure to understand their full fee structure, including management, leasing, and renewal fees.

I would love to connect with anyone who has sold subject-to to better understand the transaction and the risk.

My understanding is that it doesn’t make sense to do a cost segregation study now because we don’t have rental income to offset yet (we’re operating at a loss).

As someone who has real estate investing and sales experience—and as someone who has worked through these scenarios firsthand—you have to understand the difference between sales comps and refinance comps.

That can be an incredible accelerator and ROI lever, and it would be unwise for investors to ignore access to 97.5% leverage when they understand how to use the leverage responsibly.I do believe LLCs provide protection, but perhaps in a different way than your earlier forum post suggested.

Inexperienced operators are.A 30K to 70K house is not inherently unstable.What creates instability is an operator who• buys the wrong street• uses retail-level rehab assumptions• ignores the local payment culture• underwrites like a bank instead of an operator• or treats the price point like a shortcut instead of a disciplineWhen you know how to work in this range, the dynamics change completely.Payment consistency improves.Margins widen.Predictability goes up, not down.The price point is not the risk.The risk is not understanding the game being played at that price point.Most investors avoid moderate-price deals because they assume the volatility is baked in.What they miss is that the volatility often comes from the operator, not the asset.That is the part nobody talks about.And it is why the best opportunities are usually hiding in the places most people walk right past.

I see your point... then how can I better understand my market through people?

I have started my research on understanding all aspects of finding good deals.

Also understand that first-timers almost always get lower LTV/LTC on the first few flips, so expect to bring more cash in until you build a track record.
