My business partner and I purchased a 4 plex property in Grand Rapids Michigan.  

NOI x GRM with enough room to debt service AS IS without expansion, infill, etc.

And investors are going to the secondary markets around Charlotte, or they are using creative strategies such as rent by the room, to receive some level of cash flow.All that to say, I grew up in Ohio, and it was always a good cash flow market.

To me that looks like Romper Room or Sesame Street. 

My house I bought in September had a nice basement entrance and large long living room that shared a wall with the mechanical room.

If you hate where you live but the investment properties are great there, is it really worth it in the grand scheme?

One gives you microwaved waffles and a room, the other greets you at the door has hot towels ready, tells you where the sights and sounds are and caters a multi course meal to your room. 

You cannot get room service at McDonald's prices.6.

In our market that's solid base hit given the higher rates and lack of supply. 98% of the houses I see negative cash-flow without creative opportunities (MTR, STR, rent-by-room) or BRRRR.
