Then again, curb appeal doesn't matter as much in the inner-city parts of my market - more so in the suburbs.Lastly, if a property is newly built/renovated, 'neutral' may not be the best route.

I took my thrashing as you know in 2020  I do know some of my clients that sell turnkey have been keeping the houses and doing BRRRR instead of selling them to investors that part of the market has slowed signficantly for many in that industry.

Do you have a team built in any other markets?

I come from Europe too, and I know it can be overwhelming when you look at the real estate market in a new country and with completely different building technics ( sticks instead of bricks), but is not as bad when you have the right team in place. 

Personally, in this market, I would work on saving up and really doing my best to find a great opportunity and pull the trigger then.

@Annabelle Rozen  I believe the stability of the rental market within Allentown is rather robust. 

Europe is not a good market for investing.

Today its nothing one sale maybe 4 in a year in a mid west market..

If so, this serves as a great example of how much the market has changed - if someone were to buy this property in 2025, it would have significant negative cash flow, whereas you have positive cash flow given the price point of purchase in 2021.  

I have been narrowing down some markets and trying to explore/research more and network.
