Start small by buying a duplex or single-family home with minimal renovation and in good rental areas.

My investment partners and I have made considerable investments in Mount Airy over  the past few years, worked with a number of brokers on acquisitions and can honestly say not a single one has been able to effectively articulate our neighborhood investment thesis which tells you how challenging the neighborhood is. 

On the other hand, if you’re looking for flexibility or control, or you prioritize high resale value, it’s worth exploring alternatives like small multifamily properties or single-family homes in areas with broader market appeal.Coming here to see if anyone has suggestions or experience to share is a great first step!

I have property in Kansas and Massachusetts and have a Kansas realtor’s license.I’ve always been into single-families but now considering small multi-family.
