It is a great, rapidly appreciating neighborhood, with the opportunity to buy at a discount and value add.

This one gets you out of your head.

Louis may not experience rapid appreciation like some coastal cities, it has shown consistent and steady growth, which is favorable for long-term investments.Diversification: Investing in a different market can diversify your real estate portfolio, reducing risk.Considerations:Neighborhood Research: Research neighborhoods thoroughly.

Not everyone is cool headed in those situations and I think some subto buyers will "hide" (ghost the seller) when it happens.My big worry is the character of the buyers who are buying off the MLS at full price and borrowing money to close.

I have not been able to confirm any information from the local government.What I do know is Jax Beach and St Augustine already have regulations in place so that's where I'll likely head.

@Abram Edawrd Inman Congratulations on your first property, I think you are headed in the right direction. 

I headed over to Facebook and asked to join.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted - quick update:- Purchased condo in 08/2021, fixed it up and it’s been fully leased since 11/2022- Purchased 2 unit in 10/2022, currently living in one unit and renting the otherI’ve gotten my feet wet, bumped my head, learned a lot - but ready to add to my portfolio.

All the conflicting information made my head spin and I took no action whatsoever.Turns out, getting into real estate is not only risky, but it's worth having an education by industry experts (no, I'm not talking about HGTV shows, more like people who have thrived for years and share their knowledge).

@Gino Barbaro hit it on the head, get creative.
