@Kevin Nolan  you should look at the Florence/Muscle Shoals MSA, I think you would be pleasantly surprised

But now, you have the information to go out and close deal after deal (as long as you have enough grind and perseverance to stick with it - just like going to the gym with goals of losing weight and gaining muscle). 

Grand Forks/Fargo are a bit beyond my reach.Any other thoughts/strategies for your neck of the woods this year?

It just feels like there'll always be something hanging on my neck.

That said, I'd recommend focusing on locations with high sales volume as you will have more options to choose from in these locations.So far this year, 240 multifamily properties (2-4 units) have sold in the Bronx - Source OneKeyMLSThe neighborhoods with the most sold properties are:- Wakefield and surrounding North Bronx neighborhoods (31 sold in '24)- Throggs Neck and surrounding Southeast Bronx neighborhoods (31 sold in '24)- Pelham Gardens (30 sold in '24)- Pelham Bay (28 sold in '24)These areas account for 50% of the recent Bronx multifamily sales... focus here to have more options!

I'm assuming there is something like that in your neck of the woods or Chicago proper.

I have since put everything back on ebay and have sold it all, getting most of my money back. ( Very proud of myself for figuring out a way for a broke *** red neck idiot, to get basically a free Real estate investing education which so far has made me a buck or two,)    :)     Even today when I feel I need to get current in trends and techniques I go to ebay for some easy listening material, but I've found that most of it is just rehashed fluff from the origional gurus from my early years.

Even if they don’t you stuck your neck out and tried.

Feel free to connect so we can share some information on that area and Florence or Muscle Shoals if you are open, best of luck.
