Great to have you here - getting started is often the hardest (and most exciting) part.Here are some beginner-friendly tips to help you find good deals and know what to watch for during a purchase:How to Find Good Deals --Work with investor-friendly agents or a turnkey provider company in cash-flowing markets (many off-market deals come from relationships).Target secondary and tertiary markets like Akron & Canton, OH, Ocala, FL, or San Antonio, TX - lower prices, solid rents.Use deal-finding tools like:Realtor.com with filters for multi-family or SFRPropstream or BatchLeads for distressed or pre-foreclosure listsJoin local Facebook groups & BiggerPockets forums for wholesalers and pocket listingsMake lots of offers – the more you analyze and submit, the faster you learn what a “deal” looks like.What to Pay Attention to During a PurchaseBuy based on numbers, not emotion:Aim for cash-on-cash return of minimum 2%-3% in most casesInspect EVERYTHING:Foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC - unexpected repairs kill cash flow.Know the neighborhood:Check crime data, school ratings, and rent comps.Is it landlord-friendly (check state/local laws)?
