Happy to connect I come across off-market deals from time to time and outsource opportunities to my investor clients when it’s a good fit.

Outlined the criteria I’m looking for below, which I think both these markets fit.

Even as a House Hack, my personal hesitation was CapEx (one HVAC repair wipes out 2 years of that thin cash flow).But that is exactly why I posted it:Even though it didn't fit my specific Buy Box, I figured the low entry point (~$10k down) might work perfectly for a first-time House Hacker who is banking on Douglasville appreciation rather than immediate cash flow.I wanted to put it out there in case it fits someone else's strategy better than mine!

That combination gives you a huge advantage in understanding deals from every angle.

The pre-approved short sale angle is interesting since it removes the usual 3-6 month limbo, but you're right that the bank's 90% net floor basically kills the investor discount play.On your $360k+ ARV question, the acreage is both an advantage and a complication.

**The cost segregation angle on this deal is significant and nobody's mentioned it.

Working on both sides  acquisitions and property management has been eye-opening. In the Triad, having tenants lined up and pre-screened can really impact how fast properties perform, especially single-family and smal...

The West Valley including Buckeye, Goodyear, and Surprise still has room to run on price appreciation, and Pinal County is where smart money is quietly picking up entry-level rentals before the metro overflow fully arrives.A few niche angles worth explore: Phoenix STRs near Glendale and Peoria cash flow well off sports tourism year-round between the Cactus League, Cardinals games, and concert events at State Farm Stadium.

It’s a lot easier to start strong without overpaying, and there are plenty of off-market deals that fit FHA 203(k) rehab strategies, too.

I also make sure my GC knows the draw schedule upfront and we coordinate inspections to hit their timelines, not the other way around.Another angle: some flippers are building a small cash reserve specifically for draw gaps.
