I have a few for cash flow but I prefer equity - which I live in the Washington DC area so you are not going to be getting cash flowing rentals off the bat but if you hold them for 20 years you will not be complaining. 

The best market for YOU, is the market that fit's YOU; you're situation, your preferences, you're resources, your knowledge level, you're risk aversion and about 40 other personalized factors to you. 

Every single cabin I build is a deal I'm going to add 150k or more in equity (I've done a couple of larger ones that have 200k to 300k in equity) and anywhere from 5k to 10k a year in net profit by year 2. 

Most of my funds are in flips though, and small faction in stocks; i prefer some diversity, and cryptocurrency is another option to branch out too.

After more than a decade I have stopped BRRRR-ing a couple of years ago when the market started going nuts.

I know there are successful investors there.I have a couple of great realtor/investors that work that market hard if you need great boots on the ground. 

Anyway, you mention you've "developed a strong foundation in market analysis, design, and project management", which are all important in the development space.My question, what areas do you feel you are lacking and are either trying to develop those skills yourself, or you'd prefer to bring someone onto your "team" that would provide that expertise? 

Now you're at 31% return.Now thats making a couple of key assumptions - 1) the property you're buying is around 500k.

We lived there for a couple of years and were able to build over 150K in equity with the renovations we made.

I have preferences but not set on any market in particular.
