Are you looking to stay in the city? 

However, as I walk down the street in my city, I see tons of retail businesses that definitely do not comply. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.DM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

The investment city determines rent growth rate, appreciation, and income longevity.What determines rent growth?

In Cleveland over 75% of the population rents that are in the city.

You can probably find some around DFW in some of the outer cities for around $250,000, so 1031 the ones with the most equity into more properties with chances for more appreciation.One thing I would suggest is not to buy NEW from the big production builders. 

I've had a couple OOS investors ask about ADU potential in our market... not sure what hurdles there might be with the city (permitting, zoning, or otherwise).

I guess my next question is, why Kansas City? 

Nassau County 2-4 family properties outperformed all other New York City Metro Counties in 2024.
