Starting my real estate journey

Hi All, I am a real estate investor from San Jose, CA. I am exploring various markets to invest in for long term buy and hold rentals. My strategy is to invest in markets with strong future appreciation potential and areas where population has been consistently growing with some cash flow. I am looking at SFH and small multi-family units. Would be happy to connect with fellow investors and realtors.

Hey Ketul! Welcome to BP! I like starting in the Midwest because it's affordable and offers good cash flow. Following David Green's Core 4 strategy (realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender) gives confidence to invest anywhere. I focus on Columbus, Ohio, which has seen significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations, driving up property prices and job opportunities. I have been actively buying single family value add rental properties in Columbus, Ohio for the past 2 years. Although I prefer multi-family because it cash flows better. Let me know how I can help!
