I have a lot to learn about the rental markets in the burbs, and I'm digging in and soaking up as much information as possible.2) I'm interested in finding a local bank that I can deeply partner with, enabling us to leverage our assets to acquire distressed properties and renovate them for all cash, followed by a cash out refi after seasoning.I plan to do the first two or three BRRRR deals myself, and then bring in limited partners to accelerate the process.If anyone needs help understanding the neighborhoods in Chicago that are north of downtown, I'm happy to help.

Hi, @Jason MalabuteYou didn't include the column headers in your pic, so it's a little hard to tell specifically what you are referring to, but some general notes.I think you are talking about the overall net-migration over 10 years vs the acceleration/deceleration in change of net migration.

Either through an opportunity fund investment or by accelerating depreciation on my 4 unit property?

The sun belt continues to see significant growth and the pandemic saw this accelerate.

Average scenario 25% vacancy rate, average $575/night, and taking accelerated depreciation for the income tax savings (which are all but guaranteed so long as we can put the place on the market by the end of the year) gives cash on cash of 33% per year and IRR at 5 years of 56%. 

Being able to put less money down could dramatically accelerate your timeline for buying a second place.Good luck!

Scott Trench even rented out the second bedroom in the unit he lived in to accelerate the process.

My question is, does anyone have any tips or advice on the best way to spend this year that will continue to propel (even accelerate) our RE investment journey? 

I would also agree that rents are going to lag behind with the accelerated appreciation the entire country is having right now.
