Hey Joe,Thanks for sharing your journey!

If the real estate is producing a steady return, you can make more aggressive bets with stocks or other alt assets.

Details here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1214849-dmv-...I recommend checking them all out initially, I bet you'll have a lot of fun networking!

Hope this helps, and best of luck on your journey Priya!

If you're just starting on this journey I might also recommend two more things to you1. 

Getting multiple contractors involved will be your best bet to get a reliable estimate, though you need to come up with a scope of work.

Detroit offers strong cash flow, appreciation potential, and affordability, especially if you’re interested in long-term holds.That said, where to invest ultimately comes down to your goals, experience, and where you are on your journey to financial freedom.

I also read in real estate by the numbers that it's risky to bet on market appreciation.

For instance, if you are renting homes at $2,200 per month and decide to raise the rent by 3.99% (bringing it to $2,287.78), the likelihood of tenants moving out is generally low, especially if the market supports that price.Best of luck in your property management journey!

Best of luck on the journey!
