I personally recommend checking Columbus OH - lots of job growth, population growth, and major companies moving and developing here.

I’m a complete rookie and novice in real estate investing, and I firmly believe in the “crawl before you walk or run” mentality.

Hopefully it'll be lower, but that where's my urban developers in a few other markets are seeing their numbers come in.

Definitely focusing on offmarket or even on market multifamily homes (minimum 4 units). started off in real estate development last 2 years but the paydays are brutal building then waiting to sell.So now looking to switch up strategies to purchase cashflowing properties and then get back to ground up construction or even possible fix and flips. 

Quote from @Marcus Ball: After struggling with local rehab properties in California, I switched to build-to-rent developers and chose a 1031 exchange.

Purchase price: $220,000 Cash invested: $100 Sale price: $225,000 Wholesale: 2 build property to a Developer.

I want to develop my sales skills to negotiate better deals.

I ran your numbers through my own development proforma analyzer and it looks really good as a DSCR loan. 

Honestly, I never fully understood what they meant—until recently.I’ve been diving into some larger-scale real estate projects, specifically in commercial properties and multifamily development.

I thought I saw it listed as a half way house or mental health housing.
