The most popular way to speed up your real estate growth is to buy fixer-uppers, rehab them with mostly sweat equity, rent them out for significantly more than 1% of your total purchase price per month, and then refinance the property to extract as much money as possible for your next down payment.It’s doable, but you need to find the worst property on the nicest block, as this will play a significant role in your refinance discussions later.Let me know if you would like to chat more and learn about the Toledo market, which is well-suited for what you are looking to do.Best regards,Phillip DakhnovetsGuardian Property Management419-740-0370

A rental is a long term play. 

Or if you can get into entitlements that is a value add play as well.
