@Tyler GarzaYour "buy a new house, rent the old one, and trade up" strategy is a solid way to build wealth, but there are a few key factors to consider.

Popular choices like Fidelity, Schwab, or Vanguard let you invest in a range of stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs.

I'm sure there's other stuff you'll want to factor in - what businesses are moving to and from each areas. 

"Subject" to other factors that is where you wantto either buy or build first.

For a rule of thumb, replacing a commercial boiler can range anywhere from $20k to $150k, depending on the size, age, and efficiency.

I’d love to hear more about your experiences over the years.We are specifically looking to purchase single-family homes in the $80,000–$150,000 range and are considering renting them through Section 8.

Memphis, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa are solid markets that many of our investors in your price range tap into. 

After repair value is $100k-$170k (based on comps in the neighborhood, the range is large since the layout is a bit weird where the primary bathroom is in a bedroom). 

@Eli Fazzo, Almost every location is going to have some surprises that you just have to factor in when looking at investing in real estate. 

This might be easier to expand with more duplexes in years to come verses option 1.Option 3: There are cheaper duplexes in Akron, OH that might range from 150k.
