This is a real estate forum, not an equities market forum.

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

Hey GaryI manage about 65 units in FL and I broker for STR buyers in this market, and some do self manage.Obviously the ones who choose us for management, we can assist with all of those items, but the ones who self manage do so by building a team. 

Purchase price: $35,000 Cash invested: $38,000 Another flip ready in the market. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4467-Sims-St-Columbus-GA-31907/76572533_zpid/

There are very few markets that cashflow with 100% leverage.

I think it's very dependent on the property and market. 

Nashville is a ridiculously competitive market.

There are plenty of older homes on the market that do not have closets.You need 2 egresses (including 1 that goes outside) such as a door or window, size about 70sqft (local codes may differ), ceilings at least 7ft high, and it cannot be a walk-through passage.As always, your local codes may be different.

I used a hard money loan to purchase this off market deal.I rehabbed the upper two units within two and a half weeks and have a renter already lined up for one unit.

This year I may see if if I can get a construction loan to build 20-30 apartments, then refinance with an asset based lender. what markets?
