There definitely is better but I wouldn’t say one is bad." ....This is a misconception that gets many in trouble. 

Does anyone have any advice on a better strategy to earn interest with the cash flow being produced?

I recommend people only sell if (a) you can invest the capital in something that performs better, or (b) it aligns with your goals.

Based on this of course it would still be risky, specially being the first time but better start somewhere than just keep analysing properties right?  

New construction in a saturated market isn’t always the best play if you’re looking for steady returns.A place like Rochester has way better fundamentals—lower buy-in, strong rent-to-price ratios, and stable demand from universities, hospitals, and major employers.

The main differences are that you have more control, better tax advantages, and the power of leverage on your side.🌟 Pro Tip: Next time someone questions your real estate investments, ask them if they'd turn down an opportunity to buy shares in a company that:Pays monthly dividendsLets other people pay off their investmentOffers significant tax advantagesCan be improved to increase returnsCan be bought with 80% financingBecause that's exactly what you're doing with real estate!

We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.

Way better price p/SqFt and perk of living next to someone you care about!
