Goal would be to acquire 20 rentals by the age of retirement, with some already starting to be paid off.I am in the same boat as you, and I focus on safe appreciation all day (small cash flow for safety and then focused on markets on that appreciate). 

I’m Mark, a new real estate investor based in San Diego, leveraging my background in AI-driven lead generation to find off-market deals.I’m currently looking for small multifamily properties (duplexes, triplexes, or quads) to rehab and house hack, to build long-term cash flow while living in the property.Outside of real estate, I’m into fitness, golf, and exploring San Diego’s best outdoor spots.

I'm calculating which markets are the hottest and going after them. 

I also have multiple tenants in the Ohio market that are part of the voucher program (CMHA & Eden).

In some areas, we board up the 1st floor windows until we are about to start marketing the property.

My advice would be go for the most they will loan you as long as you're in an appreciating market and you can find a value-add.

We are a massive appreciation market. 

I've finally made the decision to get into the market to Build to Rent.

Utilities included.Fully rented.For sale off market.

Or do you want to generate off market deals.
