game is buying a few high-quality rental properties each year, with seller financing, off-market using a very relationship-oriented approach, and having no competition from other buyers.

Check for reviews or other industry professionals to vet for one.

Those are very competitive markets! 

The question is really it will go back to where it was before pandemic in a year or so, or there will be a fraction of folks who will decide/able to work remote in industries like tech.

Properties that need some work don’t get as much competition.

I’m purchasing an 18-unit mixed used property which consist of 12 residential and 6 commercial (industrial) units.

Crowdfunding makes real estate easily accessible, however, in regard to institutional/syndicated real estate investments, the advice of an expert who works in the industry every day, knows all the players and their track records, and performs due diligence on each offering is a great benefit to you and comes to you at no cost.

Hello Everyone, I m looking to see if there is an investor who can help me learn the industry!!

(Owner-occupied)You can play with these on your county's tax assessor sight, estimating real property taxes for occupied/rental.If you want to get into the SFH space, and be competitive, I think your best bet is to invest in properties whose assessed value is sub $75k-$90k.

I want to know the most creative ways and things you have done to stand out above the competition.
