No matter where you choose to invest, please keep in mind the following (copy & paste):--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

I expect prices to start creeping up in Q1/Q2 once people see 2024 was as good or better than 2023 for the majority of STRs in the area.

As mentioned earlier, I’d never expect appreciation and only go for cash flow on the multi family.

For amount, it would likely be in the $500-700k range.My expectations are to have a negative cash flow while living there, and possibly a slight negative cash flow after moving out (until interest rates lower or rents increase).

I do not want sales agents in my market to believe I am expecting a fee each time I purchase a property and go out of my way to make it known to the broker community that they will represent me and collect their fee if they bring me a deal.

I was expecting to see a list of names with my name up on this list :) here are some 1.

One of the key benefits of a DSCR loan is that it allows you to qualify based on the rental income the property is expected to generate, making it ideal for those with multiple properties or who may not have a strong personal financial profile or W2.

The actual potential value of the property is disproportionately higher than you would expect based on current revenue.  

Personal background: Married with no kids, 100% debt free, live a rather tame lifestyle and don't spend large amounts of money, two newer vehicles (2020 & 2024) so no vehicle purchases expected for the next 10 years. 

Hi @Justin Pumpr,You’ve been through a lot brother, and it’s clear you’ve gained valuable experience, even if the results haven’t matched your expectations.
