I am an accredited investor, looking to invest 50k to start since it’s my first one, and predominately interested in multifamily as my only previous experience is a rental I manage on Airbnb.

I’m looking to connect with local investors to exchange insights, experiences, and potential opportunities.Thank you, and I look forward to building meaningful connections! 

I think 1) 10 years that includes recovery from GFC and the Covid pandemic is not a long enough duration2) I think for those 10 years, 100% is not that special3) I think many Midwest markets did not experience the appreciation you depict.There are Midwest markets that have pretty good long term appreciation but there are also many Midwest markets that have appreciation that has not historically kept up with inflation.  

@Chris Seveney While I'm not at that level to be able to provide personal experience I will follow to see what others respond with.One question I would have is, 'What is your current loan volume today?'   

So I am not telling you what do, rather I am just sharing my experience. 

Any advice or shared experience would be great.
