If your goal is cash flow, focus on rental properties in high-yield markets like the Midwest or Southeast. For appreciation, target areas with strong job and population growth. A BRRRR strategy or house hacking with a duplex can maximize your returns.
Consider leveraging financing to acquire multiple properties, which spreads risk and scales your portfolio faster. Short-term rentals in tourist-heavy areas can also outperform traditional rentals. If passive investing appeals to you, real estate syndications or REITs diversify exposure without active management.
Best regards, Stevan
