I'm Melmar de Jesus, a rookie real estate investor excited to join this amazing community!

Hello Carson,I am a real estate investor in Toledo, Detroit and Texas.

I’ve personally seen a multi-family commercial flip through my co-investing club, and it highlighted how larger commercial deals can be structured collaboratively while mitigating some of the hands-on management that comes with residential rehabs.

In addition, many are not investors.  

Here’s something I’ve noticed lately while running numbers on small multis (2–4 units) across the Triad:A lot of investors underestimate how strong the rent-to-price ratios still are here compared to other Southeast markets.Typical small multi deals I’ve been tracking:• Purchase price: $170K–$260K• Rents per door: $900–$1,200 depending on the neighborhood• PM costs: 8–10%• Taxes/insurance still relatively low• Most deals landing around 6.5%–8% cap with light value-addNothing crazy, but steady, predictable cash flow — especially for out-of-state investors who want an easier entry point than Charlotte or Raleigh.The biggest tip I’d give newer investors is:Run your numbers with OPPORTUNITY in mind, not perfection.Cash flow still exists here, but only if you look at realistic expenses and know what areas rent fastest.I’ve been checking out different pockets around Greensboro and High Point recently, and there are still opportunities.

First time BRRRR investors, especially out of state, should look for deals that are 50 cents on the dollar, as those are the most competitive to get started with.

I am just confused as to why some investors buy these kinds of homes?  

I’m an active real estate investor and operator looking to connect with others in the Tucson market.

I was lucky enough to be grandfathered in, but I will never be able to sell the unit to an investor.
