What trends do y'all use to predict future growth?

However if I rent by the room I am predicting being able to ask for $1200-1500 per room (1500 for master 1200 for each bedroom).

I've been putting money into stocks and index funds, and looking into other public markets, would consider real estate debt funds or syndications (would need to vet those first)  in the future. 

I’ve been investing in stocks for over 8 years with pretty good results and am finally exploring if real estate investing makes sense for me in 2024.

They would most likely use your liquid assets (cash, stocks, retirement account) to qualify to make sure you have enough for downpayment + closing costs.

While it’s possible engaging in one of these programs can shorten the time required to become a “power” agent considerably, it also may be a gigantic waste of money if marketing efforts are engaged without waiting for the all important test results.One popular career tract being offered in collegiate business programs across the world right now is marketing data analytics - analyzing the results of test marketing campaigns and applying/interpreting these results to form an effective and profitable marketing program.The other choice is to engage one of the many companies that will set up a generic real estate agency website for you, with the usual stock photos as well as MLS feed, create a blog and tie it to the new website, and start posting information and answering questions are various social media sites.After getting your feet wet, you can purchase services such as SEO, or a PPC campaign, on a a la charge basis, and track the results using one of many analytical programs available online.

Hi Jagger-Great question.I am a fellow Michigander from Ann Arbor.Nothing against Maine but the Midwest has seen some of the strongest rent growth in the country.When I consult with my clients, if they don't have the budget for a market like Ann Arbor, I direct them to Lansing, MI.The cashflow is strong, the economy is stable, it is the State capital so there is always economic development creating new jobs, the price point is relatively affordable because the cost of living is lower there, and appreciation is predictably linear.I also advise investors to buy duplexes and up so you always have a rent check coming in most of the time if you have a vacancy.
