I would recommend that regardless of market you decide to invest in that you find a fellow investor/realtor that can help you purchase in the neighborhoods that make for ideal long term rentals.

In a previous life I projected managed 54 new builds and have done my own flips to stabilize my own neighborhood.

My plan is to develop five 1,200 SF units, allowing tenants to lease multiple units if they require more space.Recently, a 62,000 SF medical building from a Reputed Hospital Name opened directly across the property, which reinforced my belief that a medical office setup would be a strong fit for this location.

I had a similar strategy with my first few house hacks: buy in great A & B Chicago neighborhoods....get by with minimum cash flow, and wait...What's your plan for the next purchase Michael?

Louis, Missouri, and based on the numbers, it seems like it could be a great fit for Section 8 tenants.I’d love to hear from anyone with experience in the St.

Short-term stays tend to bring higher revenue, but long-term rentals can provide stability.If the area gets strong tourist traffic, STRs could be a great fit.

Value add- ugliest property in a great neighborhood fix flip.  

What neighborhood is this triplex in and di you find the property on MLS or off market? 

Look for properties in the same (or similar) neighborhood with the same size and amenities.

Does that fit your personal criteria for a return you'd like to get on your investment?
