I am gearing up to purchase another investment property which has made me re-evaluate how my current one is performing. 

Quote from @Anwar Akobir: For investors who focus on distressed or foreclosure properties, how do you evaluate whether an auction property is worth bidding on?

Hello BP Family,I am looking forward to buying a STR in Pigeon Forge Area for the purpose of Cost Seg. I chose Smokies because oh how popular the spot is.Here is my choice-Home on PUD lot(so land doesnt count for cost...

We'd appreciate any recommendations or prior experiences with companies which do this, rough cost, and any other useful information.Great thread here that provides a lot of feedback on how to evaluate which type of cost seg to get and more https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1258422-cost-...  

I’ve spent a good amount of time running numbers and analyzing rent-to-price ratios, but I’m finding the hardest part is actually narrowing down which towns to target.A few things I’m keeping in mind:I like being near water since values usually hold stronger long-term.At the same time, I want to avoid areas with high flood risk.I’m focused on steady, long-term rental demand rather than short-term or vacation rentals.For those of you already investing in the Carolinas:How do you evaluate towns when deciding where to buy?

I’m evaluating a former car wash property in Metro Detroit:Just under 1 acre lot~4,000 sq ft building with multiple bays (9 ft clearance overhead doors)Zoned C4 “Multi Use Commercial”My concept is to convert it into multi-tenant flex space for auto-related businesses (detailing, tinting, wraps, light mods, etc.).I’d love to hear from anyone who has repurposed a car wash (or other single-use building) into something else.

I value transparency, consistency, and learning from those ahead of me.I’m looking to:Network with experienced investors across Miami-Dade and South Florida.Learn best practices for evaluating deals, negotiating, and structuring wholesaling as a true business.Build long-term relationships with cash buyers who want steady access to off-market deals.What I bring:Strong research and problem-solving skills (tech/cybersecurity background gives me an OSINT edge for skip tracing & lead research).Persistence, adaptability, and a hunger to learn.A collaborative approach — I work with two dedicated partners so we can cover all angles of the business (research, seller contact, and buyer relations).My mission:Close my first few wholesale deals this year, reinvest into better tools and education, and become a trusted connector between sellers and buyers.

I am evaluating land investing current market trends, challenges and outlook to structure an investment strategy.

I feel like I'd like to start looking at more deals in different markets, as I'd like to make a purchase before the end of the year, but I need to feel confident about the following: (a) understand what returns I should be shooting for(b) have a fast 10-min evaluation system to make initial, high-level assessments of the deals(c) have a more in-depth evaluation method if it passes the sniff test. 

I've been finding things like this essential for accurate deal evaluation.
