@Jay Hinrichs there is value add in every market but unlike yesteryear when value add meant buying at half of rebuild cost and pushing rents a modest $100 yielded 15-20% cash on cash on the hold, today its forcing rents up to top of the market (and historically adjusted highs) and hoping and preying that those rents stay there and continue to grow (not to mention interest rates).

At some point you WILL need to connect or work with people who do have the money in order to really grow & scale things up but as you're getting rolling you won't necessarily need the money quite yet. 

For instance the house next store sold in 2015 for $103/sqft and is of similar age and condition although it has one more bedroom.

Hi all,New to the forum and excited to meet some new folks and grow my knowledge.I am pretty new to this space but own three single family properties with good equity in each and long term tenants.

@Matthew Dreiling welcome to BP and congratulations on taking your first step at a young age.

LOCATION--Is it near Omaha or a decent size city that is growing?

However, @Brandon Turner is a young guy and for him to own 15 properties (100 doors) at that age, they must have a way to find how to obtain 50k down payments.

So far I've read the following books;- Think and grow rich- The four hour work week- How to win friends and influence people- Your money or your life- The millionaire next doorYour input will be very helpful towards helping me achieve my real estate goals in the future!

We’ve dedicated ourselves and made it our goal to become financially independent by the age of 35.

Not only does it cash flow well but it also has a growing population and job growth.
