I have been investing in the stock market for 5 years and I am now transitioning over to real estate after doing my research on real estate for the past two years. 

I'd be happy to visit about the market.  

As far as investing in the short term I feel investing close to home (50 mile radius) is the best option because you have a superior advantage by knowing your market.

Have you had an appraisal done recently, or do you have comps to estimate the property's market value?

@Jonathan LudizacaIt really depends on the market.

Prior to viewing with clients, I am usually have an idea of the general area, vacany rates, market rents, and property types that suitable for LTR.

The conversation covers issues like the impact on property values, tenant rights, and the broader effects on the real estate market. 

We invested $55,000 in key renovations, focusing on modernizing the interiors, improving curb appeal, and ensuring the property met market expectations.

Lenders do not look at your personal income or debt and will use the current market rent or lease (up to 120% if the lease is significantly higher than market rent or vice versa) as qualifying income.

I see off market properties weekly, talk to investors both new and seasoned daily and I am actively buying myself.
