Aaron - thanks for the post ...wedge area off Monroe is solid .....make sure your financing is in place and lined up  before  beginning to property shop ....traditional lender have  programs that allow as little as 15% down if the  rental propety is a  1 unit 

Beyond just solid rent-to-price ratios, there’s a lot going on: the city’s undergoing revitalization, the population is growing again, and there's real potential for appreciation if you’re buying in the right spots.

It’s a challenging time to start, but real estate can still be a solid investment if approached wisely.

You can always scale into BRRRRs once you've built a solid relationship with a PM, learned the market well, have enough saved for BRRRR expenses, and have built equity on your first property.

The style looked very similar, but they were made with solid wood. 

Start small and start simple - hit a good solid single that pays you every month - I will aim for bigger returns through flipping or refinancing once i have a steady stream of cash to help offset the risk those things bring.  

Put a little rehab into it, and you have pretty solid BRRRR potential.Just today I had a client text me that his appraisal came in at $122,000.

@Nathan Gesner My justification for taking the risk is that I have a solid W2 job so I can afford to take a hit for a couple of months for vacancies and maintenance.

I have not seen any "main stream" versions of this just back country engineering but it's a solid concept and works well. 

You need to demonstrate a substantial investment ($100K+}, a solid business plan indicating your ability to support yourself along with any family members, as well as the projection of hiring US persons within 5 years.
