Just completed a down to the studs rehab on a ~1300 sq ft property in Indiana. We pulled separate permits for the ~1300 sq ft house and the 400 sq ft 1 bed 1 bath detached garage conversion in the back. The appraiser ...

Two quick moves: set a simple buy box so you’re not chasing everything, and analyze a handful of real listings each week using a basic cash flow calculator, then sanity‑check rents with a local PM.What’s the first deal you’re aiming for—property type, price range, and target rent—and which market are you eyeing for that first purchase?

If anyone here wants a second set of eyes on a property, feel free to reach out.

Still do annual or semi-annual check-ins yourself.Even with systems, flying out once or twice a year keeps your eyes on the property, maintains relationships with your local team, and reminds you this is a realasset, not a spreadsheet.Make it an annual trip, videos and others input helps, but there is nothing like putting your own eyes on your property.It isn't impossible to do with the right systems, best of Luck!

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

I find that tenants will break the lease without batting an eye anyway, and by asking them to work with me I get the pleasure of helping them find a home as well as a commission check that always more than makes up for any vacancy loss I might incur from them ending their lease early.

Primarily focused on long term rentals in the twin cities area and eyeing a potential for mid term rentals and corporate housing in the future. 

I can't seem to find any properties that are catching my eye on websites, apps, etc.

If anyone ever wants help breaking down numbers or wants eyes on a property in the Triad, feel free to message me anytime.Happy investing, and hope this helps someone today. 🙌— Shakur

Little touches like this help buyers picture themselves living there, which usually leads to quicker and stronger offers.If you try adding one or two intentional details that guide the buyer’s eye and make the home feel cared for, you might be surprised how much faster your flips move.
