Ideally it should still cash flow solidly but may not appreciate quite as rapidly as the bigger market.

While cash flow may be harder to achieve here, these markets often shine in their ability to withstand market downturns and provide solid appreciation over time.The key in markets like this is understanding your goals.

I sent an email to the city and received a long response.

Pick solid operators and solid asset classes.We syndicate self-storage projects.

The foundation was already approved, permitted and finaled years ago for a 3400 sf house, and its solid and I won't be building directly on the overhang edge; but rather back away from the edge a few feet to prevent any load issues all the weight will be on the longer sides of the existing footing.

I think the key is doing solid due diligence and making sure you're lending on projects with good margins and clear exit strategies.

So prompt responses to inquiries generally get the bookings.  

But ultimately the responsibility lies in my hands.I jumped on a seesaw of risk hoping that the momentum would catapult my bank account into six figures only to find out the hard way that flipping houses isn’t as easy as I had predicted.This house was purchased for $64,000 with an expected rehab of $100k to $120k depending on how much work the dilapidated and neglected house needed.The midwest is lovely but the houses carry the weight of weather storms nearly a century old leading to more damage than a beginning investor could expect.The appraisal came in at $225k for my lender meaning our all-in cost would be around 85% of the sales price worst case.

@Charles Carillo Thanks for the response.

Thank you for your response Michael.
