Stay focused on your goals, and best of luck on your journey in real estate!

It just depends on your goals.You also have to be careful with posts like these, this is where all the real estate agents come in and tell you that their market is best so that they can get your business.If your goal is appreciation, I would focus on higher price point markets.

@Joe BellevilleTo build a successful multifamily property portfolio in Grand Rapids, set criteria for property type, location, and budget, build a team, analyze deals using the 1% rule, leverage house hacking, leverage local knowledge, prepare for tenant management, network, and focus on long-term goals.

@Brandon EikeFrom my experience, finding your first deal starts with clearly defining your goals and thoroughly learning the market.

Work with a financial planner to evaluate cash flow projections and confirm this move aligns with your long-term financial goals.

This gets my mortgage payment barely at break even for LTR value, (could be negative cash flowing), and lowers to about a 6% CoC (with down payment, renov and furnishings' costs)About 1.5 pt lower than my goal and with an MAO $10K higher than I wanted.b.
