I personally use Vanguard, but I know others like Schwab and Fidelity also have solid options.

Real estate investment is my future.This amazing voyage begins with setting personal goals and vision.

I personally am interested in creating a long-term rental portfolio but I'd be interested in hearing any strategy, ie. house flipping, short term rentals etc.

But I can't see why Cleveland would increase in value based on negative population growth and, generally, being a bad place to live.   

Looking forward to seeing your growth in this business!

I recommend targeting emerging neighborhoods with strong long-term growth potential, where property prices are still affordable but demand is on the rise.

@Shiloh Lundahl I will do value add specifically with ADU development, so I am tracking permits to find other ADU developments and overall inventory growth to find a competitive edge with supplying demand in areas lacking larger residential developers aka "the middle housing"@Arlem Garcia Interesting, Tariffs will play a big role in supply chains, so it will be interesting to see how governments come to resolutions@Henry Clark Absolutely, imo gone are the days of investing for cashflow or appreciation, now it's about aligning long-term strategies with lifestyle 

Personally, I bought a 3 bedroom house as my first purchse and lived there while renting bedrooms and 2 bedrooms rent paid all of the mortgage payment and 2/3 of the utilitites.

When you have a good cash on cash from day one, it means that appreciation won't be that great.There are many other factors to look at as the neighborhood and the age of the property those are going to give you a better undertanding on future growth

But, I believe that the actions of the first two weeks should give investors, on the whole, reason to incrementally revise down their expectations for growth in prices or rent growth in 2025.
