It does not matter if you find the single best market in the US.

No residual marketing and no marketing for each properties uniqueness.

However my market is currently Arizona.

I joined various internet marketing programs and mentorships to find ways to transition from my W2 job.

This is one of the main inherent risks with pre-construction, and the pre-construction market has cooled, and with impeding tariffs, there is some uncertainty around where prices will be in the coming months.One thing to clarify, are you looking to buy an investment property or a primary residence (or perhaps abit of both where you live in one unit and rent out the other)?

Since it is a family member and I would potentially buy the property for under market value.

Nashville is a ridiculously competitive market.

If so, this serves as a great example of how much the market has changed - if someone were to buy this property in 2025, it would have significant negative cash flow, whereas you have positive cash flow given the price point of purchase in 2021.  

You may qualify based on Market Rents or Lease Agreement.

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?
