Thesis driven real estate investment strategies

[Levi Brackman]

I know several different methods to investing in real estate, such as Fix and Flipping and the BRRRR method. Many of these are driven by COC returns and yield.

But does anyone have a thesis-driven approach? Such an approach may say, for example, that properties in the Chicago area are depressed in price and are bound to go up in value and would therefore be a good investment. Or that properties in rural areas within driving distance of a major airport may be less expensive currently but are likely to rise in value and therefore be a good investment?

Is there anyone with such a thesis that they can share?
