Hi @Dylan Jashari, For cash deals, start by combining public data sources like county tax records, foreclosure filings, and code enforcement notices, into a central dashboard.

According to recent Fannie Mae calculations,it will take one of three things, or a combination of them to get back to affordable housing in America:Housing prices would need to drop 38%Median household income would need to rise 60%Mortgage rates would need to fall to 2.35%This widening gap is why creative investing strategies are becoming more important than ever.

Personally, I’ve shifted towards a more balanced strategy, combining both short-term projects like flipping with long-term investments to hedge against market fluctuations.

Good morning, A non-related party can certainly function as a qualified intermediary, but you need to be very careful. 

Im able to use the va loan, which is a combination of what you said plus having the benifit of not paying a down payment.

Use properties you purchase, combined with co-hosting, to scale smartly with less money in. 

Yields are a function of risk, effort and barriers to entry.

Combining this with a respectful, low-pressure outreach approach usually works best.

Additionally, I’ve found it beneficial to use lockboxes with combination codes that can be easily changed between tenants or service visits.

The best way is to combine direct networking with a little strategy.
