Areas I like that I would consider C+ to B which should give decent cash flow are Orange Park, South Westside area near 295, Murray Hill area, San Jose, eastern area of Mandarin, East Arlington (east of 295), various pockets of the southside around University Blvd, and some others I circled in the red areas.

From my research, townhomes appear to have lower maintenance costs compared to single-family properties and potentially offer higher cash flow.My primary goal is to find avenues to park money while also building wealth, achieving high cash flow, and growing in the real estate sector.

I am looking at an opportunity in my local area where there is a multiple unit mobile home park for sale.

Meaning the grass is not cut and nice looking, its a smaller older hasn't been updated gas station, its combined with an 18 wheeler parking lot. 

In 2023, there was an 11% difference between what sellers listed their properties for and what they actually sold for.Since it has the highest count of sold small multifamily properties, here are House Hacker's top 10 Queens neighborhoods:Jamaica: 102 dealsFlushing: 71 dealsGlendale: 41 dealsAstoria: 34 dealsEast Elmhurst: 32 dealsBayside: 29 dealsCollege Point & Corona: 27 deals, respectivelyWoodhaven: 25 dealsWoodside: 24 deals* Just missing the top 10: Far Rockaways: 23 deals - Maspeth, Ozone Park & Ridgewood: 22 deals, respectivelyHow optimistic are New York sellers?

@Michael Lambert I am in the Jacksonville area, I live in Orange Park, which is just outside. 

For example, the first property that brought me to MGM is in Regency Park (I overpaid for property and overpaid for rehab) but I'm cash flowing nicely and property values have gone up.

Hey @Henry Lazerow - I would tend to agree that most of the NW side of Chicago 2-4 units don't play out perfectly well for BRRRR deals.I always looked at any potential house hack vs. having to rent - if my overall payments were less than the rent I generally considered that a win.For me...the house hack is just the ticket into the amusement park and then the fun rides come after...getting started can be overwhelming and hard so I can see why people might take a discount.I think one of the keys to strong equity creation is square footage creation which is basically what you outlined with duplexing up or down.

Or you can add parking.

So, I asked if they could wait as I'd parked in the garage and I'd run and grab it as I was sure it must be in the center console or on the seat or something and run right back.
