I share more on splurging/saving for max ROI on my Bigger Pockets Episode (933:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-933), if you haven't listened to it already.

I can run some numbers and share some options on the financing side if you like.

Thanks Sarah, I don’t see much house hacking going on in Essex or Dundalk in terms of listings on Zillow or FB so my concern would be finding professional adult roommates that want to house share in that area. i’ve been following a lot of the midterm rental groups in Facebook and the consensus is that contracts have decreased significantly and hospitals are using more local labor pools.

I focus solely on Detroit proper because, in my experience, the rent-to-price ratios, opportunities for value-add projects, and overall market potential are much stronger there.That said, Detroit is a nuanced market.

Follow up outside the activities to ask for business and see how you can serve them as well in their business.Best wishes and good luck.Bruce this is great advice thank you for sharing. 

I’m debating whether to furnish the shared areas or just stage them for photos and viewings.

@Mitch ProvostFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, your property near Texas A&M in College Station/Bryan has strong investment potential due to the consistent demand for student housing driven by steady enrollment growth.

@Travis Timmons Thanks for sharing this data.

The fact that you have already owned and sold a rental property gives you a great experience to start from.In terms of the best place to invest - that is whatever place meets your criteria, goals and investing style.Personally flips have not been working as well for me lately, but when we get the right BRRRR deal those are still working well.

Does any have any experience with that.
