@Leon Green honestly it depends on what your investment strategy will be. We all want equity, cash flow, and appreciation. But sometimes you have to pick which of those makes more sense at the moment.

As far as SA goes, it's a great market. We're very diverse in jobs and VERY affordable which keeps attracting more people.

We also have a great infrastructure that allows for better commuting and huge growth potentials.

But, you need to make sure you lay eyes on any property you buy. Wholesalers have gotten even worse since the pandemic and they're pushing anything to make a buck.

NEVER take anyone's numbers. Always run your own. And use your own contractors.

I hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions.
