For example, what is the required income to rent ratio, amount of time spent at current employer, credit score, etc etc.

Currently looking into out-of-state investing.

I have two apartment buildings and am currently spending time looking at warehouses.

At the current cost to build estimate $150/sqft, It appears a 1500-1700 sqft new construction will need to sale for around 399,9k to make a decent profit.

Quote from @Kash Tacke: Hi,I have two single family houses in Detroit currently rented out. 

I hold a w-2 job currently and considering transitioning to holding some properties.

I have liquid assets and want to make smart, scalable investments that balance cash flow, appreciation, and low risk.GoalsGenerate consistent cash flow to diversify my income.Maximize appreciation potential for long-term wealth growth.Invest in areas with low crime rates to minimize risk.Reduce my tax burden for 2024 with real estate purchases.My Current ThoughtsI’m torn between two main strategies:Multifamily Properties:Looking at markets like Austin, Raleigh, and Tampa for 10-50 unit multifamily properties.Love the scalability and centralized management, but I'm concerned about high upfront costs and competition.Section 8 Housing:Considering affordable markets like Memphis, Cleveland, or Indianapolis to purchase 5-10 single-family homes.I like the government-backed rent stability, but managing multiple properties across different locations seems intensive.Key QuestionsWhich strategy would you recommend for my goals and liquidity?

I knew these units needed a renovation and I am excited to get them rehabbed and get more juice to squeeze from them.The one I am currently doing will profit me another 200-225/m moreThe one that is vacant the 31st of this month will profit 400-450/m more which is no small amount. 

Josh, we are currently looking at SFH and MFH with 2-4 units.

Since my current strategy is BRRRR, I'm looking for a location where I can implement it successfully within my budget.I’d prefer to target the best neighborhoods or subdivisions I can afford, ideally with favorable eviction laws and other key factors.That said, I started wondering if there might be a better strategy to achieve my goals.
