As for my MTR listing, I have 100% occupancy on it but I have a very easy target MTR market of visiting scholars. 

If you're targeting Section 8 tenants in Chicago, I'd suggest listing at the fair market rent of $2000.

As for the areas to target, my goal in getting our feet wet as real estate investors--and since we plan to be living in Sac--is to find a property we can live in while renting out one or more units to help cover our housing expenses, which we can then hold and continue to rent out when we move.

However if I do a BRRRR I can achieve infinite return by extracting all of my investment.

That said, it could be a good choice if you’re capital constrained and need to recycle equity from deal to deal.However, if you have capital to deploy and want to take a more hands-off approach, targeting a turnkey, rent-ready offering could be a better approach for your first deal.Full disclosure: I own rentals and operate a turnkey provider in Tuscaloosa—let me know if there are any questions I can answer for you!

•Are there any specific neighborhoods or zip codes to target or avoid?

The Westchester multifamily market is a solid one to target! 

Start small, focus on building relationships, and take advantage of Conroe’s growing market to achieve your goals.Good luck!

Targeting the right audience, with the right message.

The issue with watering your foundation is that you have to do it always, every year without a break in order to achieve the desired effect.
