Currently, my number one goal is to scale rapidly.

Property values have been appreciating rapidly in recent years, and the city’s population has started growing again—a trend we haven’t seen in decades.I’m also based in California and have been investing in Detroit for several years, so I understand the concerns of out-of-state investing.

You may also want to look into 2-4 units as those are the easiest to finance and help you grow faster.

If your serious about growing a portfolio, best to partner with a tax firm that has helped 1000s of others do it, so you don't mistakes along the way.

Over time, your network will grow.7.

I can also allow a tenant to grow with me - just moved a family from a two bedroom to a three bedroom apartment.Personally the only reasons I would choose to invest in multiple markets is a) because I wanted an excuse to go somewhere regularly or b) for economic/geographic diversity.I had the advantage that my home market was good.

As times goes on I see my real estate growing much quicker than stocks as most of my current investing goes to real estate.

Consisting of 112 units located in a growing and stable area of Dallas.

I also hope to continue to grow my network and meet other like minded individuals and mentors to help advance my investing business.Cheers!

There are a lot of good meetups for real estate investors in the area that would be good to grow your network and learn from others that are and have been in your shoes as a new investor, message me and I can share on some specific monthly meetups.Also sharing some multifamily data, this is Boston proper so it has an interesting trend compared to the rest of Massachusetts.
