Investments are not sure bets.

If you are considering a refinance anyways, the appreciation play may be your best bet for a home you want to live in.If you are looking for more of an investment property, I would focus on Medium-Term-Rentals or Rent by the Room in a SFH (single family home). 

Bet not:(You should ask them for detailed explanation of what they are doing and what the collections company is doing!

If I had at least a 10 year timeline, I would personally bet on more appreciation for Pueblo West than Colorado Springs.

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

I have funded i bet no less than 200 deals in the last 10 year that were from Aussies selling their home that is now a full reno.. many of them in their superannuation funds. ( US version of IRA )  just the dirty little secrets most wont talk about.

Your best bet will be to focus on counties or cities 1 hour away from the metro areas.Reach out!

The folks telling you a high-yield savings account is your best bet simply aren't real estate investors.They are people that purchased rent-ready homes from the MLS when interest rates were basically zero and thought that's how things are done.Maryam, I know you've looked at Detroit a bit and we've had a couple messages about that market.

I bet your systems are amazing, and you probably save a bunch in economies of scale. 

In terms of commercial real estate events, your best bet will be to find events happening in Manhattan - there really isn't much of a commercial networking scene in other boroughs.
