There are only 2 ways, as I see it in the current market, to get actual income/cash flow from a rental property - a paid off long term/mid term property or a well bought short term or rent by the room rental.

If you have experience in cash-flow markets, creative financing, or multifamily properties, I’d love to connect!

If the only MFH options you're finding are in areas you're not comfortable with, it might be worth focusing on a duplex in a better neighborhood.Saving up for a larger property later is a valid approach too, but keep in mind that real estate tends to appreciate over time, and waiting might make it harder to enter the market later.

Hello all - I am an out of state investor, and am exploring investing in SFH or small MFH (duplex/triplex/quadplex) in the Indy market.

I took my thrashing as you know in 2020  I do know some of my clients that sell turnkey have been keeping the houses and doing BRRRR instead of selling them to investors that part of the market has slowed signficantly for many in that industry.

Plenty of 50-60% leverage loan options for developable land, and may still be more marketable to the LP if you went that route even if it meant incurring some additional finance charges.

There is no one size fits all answer for this question, market to market, and property to property are all different. 

I'm really looking forward to your blog and hearing about your experiences in these markets.

Any marketing should always be based on the information provided by sellers in a deal. 

You could put most of your funds in the stock market and access them when needed for a HML.
