I prefer seller financing when I can get it.

I don't want to wait two years, I prefer one, but if I need to, and that's my only option, I will.

I've shared a little about what I've been doing below:Target Strategy: 30-Year Conventional, 25% Down, $50k All-in Budget (more if great deal)Property Type: Duplex/Triplex only (No SFH).Year Built: Prefer 1940–1970 (Brick 1950s side-by-sides are the "Gold Standard").Condition: Turnkey or "Lipstick" only.

I'd prefer a Landlord friendly and a RED state.

Many prefer buyers who can take multiple assets or small pools at once.3.

Change orders go in writing immediately -- never verbal.The game-changer for me was getting contractors to send daily or every-other-day progress updates in a standardized format (they actually prefer it because it forces them to stay organized).

I have savings that I would like to invest preferably here in South Florida.

I have a few rentals locally, but the majority of my portfolio is in Decatur, IL, where I operate BACH — our management and acquisition company.Right now, I’m focused on:Expanding our Tucson, Orlando, and Denver footprintContinuing to acquire, stabilize, and operate rentals in the MidwestNetworking with investors who prefer hands-off, well-managed propertiesExploring potential property trades between marketsBuilding relationships with people who have construction, management, or acquisition expertiseConnecting with out-of-state investors who want boots-on-the-ground partnersHow are things looking in your market right now?
