From updated tenant rights laws to shifting zoning regulations, staying compliant can feel like a moving target.

I have cash, but not enough for the purchase price i am targeting (500k-$1MM).   

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

Currently, we are targeting multifamily properties of 100+ units, and have been actively engaging with various owners and brokers, submitting Letters of Intent (LOIs) and working to secure deals.While some may consider our approach bold for new investors, we are confident that, with the right team and expertise, we can succeed in achieving our objectives.I’m excited to be part of this community and look forward to learning from your collective experience.

However, I'm unsure of the specific areas within these states to target.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

However, I would encourage you to Network work local real estate clubs in the PA/NJ area to help identify your target market and ideal investment for your first property.

The best projects I've seen from my desk are folks who are doing hyper-targeted, well-researched deals that are generally in higher cost of living (there are exceptions) areas. 

They make their money off of real estate agents, but real estate agents are the worst people to make money off because they are highly unreliable and in and out of the business when the market changes.Their target should be the consumer with higher levels that they can subscribe too for data, since Zillow is linked to the MLS now which makes their data somewhere more reliable.

Generally as a new fix and flip investor you would want to target cosmetic projects that do not require an extensive rehab budget.
