MikeI find most multi family deals in C areas that are in the verge of gentrifying or in tertiary markets like you are looking at!

If you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking5.

In today’s competitive real estate market, where inventory is tight and opportunities seem few and far between, many potential buyers are overlooking a game-changing option: renovation loans like the 203(k) and HomeStyle.

If you’re looking for a good balance between appreciation and cash flow, there’s a lot of opportunity in suburbs to the west, including Adamsville, Forestdale, Pleasant Grove, and the like.If you’re open to nearby markets as well, Tuscaloosa could also be a fast-growing spot with strong student tenants worth looking into.

One of our borrowers who successfully flips on the South Side (Dobson, Park Forest, etc.) is capitalizing on the abundance of discounted rehab properties (on market and off market via wholesalers and the such), which is a key strategy given rising rates. 

I'm not sure what market you are in but I'm knowledgeable on Columbus Ohio if you ever want to talk about build to rent. it's not purchasing new builds at full market price, it's building it 25% below market yourself 

To connect with potential partners, consider attending local real estate investor meetups where you can network with those looking to invest passively.If you’d like to explore HM financing options, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat!

Quote from @Mark Marino: Greetings,I have done rent to owns for years without much marketing/advertising.

In this market small multi families are not traded frequently meaning they do not have comps for these properties.

We’re considering reaching out to local hospitals to offer it as housing for travel nurses and doctors, but we’d love to hear any advice or suggestions on the best approach this?
