Hello everyone, I am located in New York City (Bronx), and I am currently tackling a renovation for a triplex rental I plan to keep.

I'm located near Great Falls in central Montana.I have been self-employed for about 4 years and love what I do, so my goal is to build total wealth long-term, not to maximize cash flow for FIRE/financial freedom in the near-term.

Location?

I suggest you talk to a real estate transactional attorney licensed in the state where the property is located and get their advice on your options. 

Knowing the Fort Collins market and it's price points a little bit, it doesn't sound like you're capitalized quite enough to get started flipping, especially when factoring in risk (properties in the $300-400k range will be high risk, not good locations).

Now if you want to buy and live there forever or you want a specific location or lifestyle or the amenities, might be something to consider, but not for investment....they're for living.Your best option right now depending on your income, is probably to buy at least 4bed house or 5 bedroom if you can make it work financially and rent bedrooms. 

They do this in a lot of locations.

Do you know what address location for GA and how you got this info.

I’m open to exploring different locations and would love your insights on areas with strong rental potential.

Mention all of the pros of the property (mechanicals, rent amounts, location, etc).
