Im looking at purchasing a duplex in middletown, Ohio.

While Treasuries are often viewed as "risk-free" investments, certain real estate deals in today’s market offer a compelling alternative—especially when purchased at a deep discount.Take, for example, a 1,000+ unit apartment complex in a suburb near Michigan.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Jerry NoguerasRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

How to track potential growth in an area to see if a lot is viable for purchase and building spec homes on etc. 

Last year, I purchased a SFH under market at 7.65% interest rate and did some rehab to up the value.

Purchase price: $17,000 Sale price: $27,000 Contributors: Peter Vekselman Partner Driven and Archie Raglin acquired this property on 1/3/2025 for $17,000 and sold it the same day for $27,000.

I don't know if this is for you, but my husband and I have mentored quite a few investors in Canada and helped them purchase their own multifamily. 

The property that you sell and then purchase through a 1031 Exchange must be held for rental, investment (capital appreciation), or used in a business. 

Our plan is to purchase again with a better mindset of turning that into a profitable rental.We have diligently completed all the necessary steps and are on the verge of signing a management agreement with a property manager.However, we are experiencing some doubts.  1.
