I have a certain ratio per100 headcount (not households, not age, not sex) I use when decidingto buy or build in a town.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Stigler.

:)Just kidding.1) Stock market: may want to do this while exploring other options, just make sure funds are easily accessible2) Buy Multi-unit: two basic options:- Buy turnkey: may not cashflow for 3-5 years, depending on your management skills.- Buy someone else's problem: can you fix their problems?

I have the option to buy a 1,300-sqft 3-bed, 1.5-bath house in South End neighborhood of Stamford, CT, from a family member before it goes on the market.

Especially in today's high interest rate environment, a low income buyer is usually going to be better off renting than buying.

I intend to buy another multi-family home in 2025, but not sure I would want to move.

An opportunity to buy my second property has come.

I would never advise my customer to take a 5 YPPP considering we are have been moving into a downward trending rate market since 2024. 3 Year Prepay Max but if you plan on doing renovations or taking cash out on the ARV then a 1-2 YPPP would be Max.I would also advise buying the rate down before you decide to take a 5 YPPP using seller credit, equity or closing funds.

We have family teams in place in both markets of Texas & Virginia and source deals on/off market through agent referrals, cold calling motivated sellers and PPL.Well, if you get more deals than you can handle and they’re too good to be true I have a friend in San Antonio that buys properties I might could point you to. 😇 

Here in Columbus Ohio, you can still find the positive cash flow (aka the 1% rule) and you get amazing appreciation in any real estate you buy.
