Huntsville was the market to be buying in ~5 years ago.

I am looking at purchasing my first investment property around Q3 of next year.

I don’t know if I should invest in the Jersey market and put maybe 20-50% down on something, make less cash flow and make more appreciation, or every two years or so maybe buy something fully cash (my own $) in the Midwest let’s say 5-10 units and make more cash flow with no debt as with the income I make I can just save and buy more, don’t necessarily need to leverage in some markets.

Also, while it won't cashflow right away, rental rates will continue to rise and in 3-4 years it will very likely be a cash-flowing property (it's in a prime location with tons of upside and development going on around it). 

What you need to do is sit down and make a list of your 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 3 year, 5 year, 10 year goals.

The demand has seen a spark given the rising student body, with U of M having their largest student body this year.

It sounds like you’ve accomplished a lot in three years—congrats!

Hi All,I've been a lurker here for almost a year.

How many new developments can you execute in one year vs flips?
