We are chasing add value apartment complexes of 32 units or more, priced between 3.2M - 4.8M, purchasing all cash while using SOFR or Fannie as contingencies, targeting a 6-8% cap upon entry and want to operate sub 5% for stabilization.

Low barrier to entry, low taxes, landlord friendly, some amazing class A and B suburbs and a strong urban core. 

The biggest mistake I see out of state investors make is relying on others too much for direction and guidance instead of doing their own due diligence and building their own team that they actually meet and interviewRelying on one person who alleges that they have a 'team' built already that you can use as well can be a costly mistake.

For any investors in the group, take a peak at #10 Greensboro/High PointIt's an interesting choice of verbiage to look at "median" sale price YoY because 10% feels like A LOT on the entry-level/investment inventory, and more of what I see in the high-end resale and, specifically, new construction inventory that tends to swing our avg's way up in the macro.Completely disagree that rent will be 0%.

That would be the minimum entry fee I would think.

I bet you were floored when the person ordered every package you had to offer!!

FidelFidel,When I saw your question I got interested as most Canadian investors are rather running away (or pausing) from investing in RE in Canada.But to help in your journey, here's what I can share mostly from either my personal experience or discussion with relevant professionals. 

@Amir PortalFort Worth (Southside): Affordable entry points with growing rental demand due to development and school proximity.Arlington: A solid mix of price points and strong rental potential, especially near UT Arlington or entertainment districts.Focus on areas with rising population growth, job opportunities, and low vacancy rates.

Wholesaling can be a great way to learn a market and build capital, but holding rentals can provide steady cash flow and equity growth over time—especially in markets like Detroit, where entry prices are lower and rents are solid relative to costs.If you’d like to learn more about navigating Detroit, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to share some resources or insights from my experience.Best of luck in whichever direction you choose!

Its not often that the sales person is also very good at management.
