Hi Nick, welcome to BP and congrats on taking your first steps! 

Hi Nick, 

I’d recommend focusing on appreciation by investing in higher-quality assets in stronger neighborhoods. While cash flow may be lower upfront, your income will grow over time, and the property’s appreciation will provide the equity needed to scale your portfolio faster. This approach balances long-term wealth-building with the ability to reinvest efficiently.

Hi Ivan,

It might be a great time to explore out-of-state investing. Consider researching markets like Memphis, which offer stable economies and more affordable properties. Turnkey companies can simplify the process and help you invest remotely. Let me know if you'd like to connect and discuss strategies!

Hi Benjamin, 

The answers to your questions ultimately depend on your risk tolerance and investing goals. Purchasing a property that doesn’t meet the 1% rule can absolutely be justified if you’re focused on long-term appreciation, especially in strong growth markets like the ones you mentioned. Over time, rents and property values tend to increase, improving overall returns. Regardless of the market, choosing a reliable property management company is crucial, as their performance can significantly impact your investment’s success.

Good luck!
