Feel free to private message me with any additional questions.

I'm a part of local real estate investors meeting and I have some good realtor contacts.

As a SFR investor for over 15 years I have been wrestling with this question in the past, because it feels like you should upgrade to "bigger".I know for sure that I would not enjoy the ownership experience that comes with a small 4F, because in Milwaukee that typically also means lower income tenants. 

Don't let them choose for you.Just inspect what you expect....Also I would talk to housing office in Memphis to get a feel of how many people are on the Section 8 waitlist, what kind of rents they pay, what zip codes are they targeting, see if they have any stats about how long tenants stay and average rent.While a lot of people try to look at google street view to get an idea of the neighborhood, there is no substitute for visiting in person.

By understanding the local market and organizing a strong support network, you will unlock varied opportunities for growth and long-run success.If you’re interested in learning more about how to get started or want to discuss specific opportunities in Phoenix, feel free to reach out to local experts or explore educational resources tailored to this market.How many foreclosures are there today vs 2010 or historical average in Maricopa county?

Not saying you feel this but many think its a get rich quick gig.

But if you feel like you can learn the same skills on your own through experience and other resources, saving that extra tuition for your first investment might be the better move.
