In fact, we have an emergency option on our call-tree and over 90% of the time it is used, it is NOT an emergency.FYI - in the PMC industry emergencies are referred to as, "blood or flood" issues.

At this stage, I’d focus on opportunities that match your current capital and experience.

In Austin, there are a few channels that consistently produce off-market opportunities, whether you're targeting entry-level flips in 78745 or mid- to high-end areas like Jester, Westlake, or Barton Creek West.Some of the main sources I see working right now:• Driving for dollars in long-term ownership pockets• Pre-foreclosure + delinquent tax leads• Probate/inherited properties• Networking with local investors + RE agents• Builders offloading lots or heavy fixers quietly• Wholesalers who specialize in distressed or dated SFRs• Tracking aging or deferred-maintenance homesI’m in the Austin market daily and the deal flow has been all over the board lately — everything from heavy value-add homes to infill lots to luxury fixers.Curious what type of project you're aiming for — entry-level flip, mid-range, or something bigger?

Quote from @Reddy Karnati: That’s impressive, Jay — sounds like your team has a sharp eye for large-scale SFR opportunities.

Hello,Was curious if anyone in the Richmond Virginia area has reliable / affordable (not going to take advantage of me) plumbers.  I am a relatively new landlord and trying to put together a list of go-to contractors....

I have read that 6months worth of emergency funds should be set aside, usually refers to personal emergency issues.   

I’m seeing a mix of:• Entry-level value-add SFRs in South Austin• Heavy fixer flips with good spreads• Small infill lots that builders like• Occasional higher-end fixers in West Austin• A few lower-priced opportunities outside the cityCurious what everyone else is targeting right now.What’s your current buy box?

I currently own property and am actively looking for opportunities to expand into both short-term and long-term rentals, with an emphasis on properties that can cash flow today and appreciate over time.My strategy is centered on:Leveraging equity and creative financing to scale acquisitionsTargeting value-add and high-equity opportunities in growing Florida marketsBuilding relationships with local agents, wholesalers, contractors, and fellow investorsI’m here to learn from the community, share insights along the way, and hopefully connect with others doing similar deals.

Since you’re in Massachusetts, you don’t necessarily need to go far to find strong opportunities.
