I also have multiple tenants in the Ohio market that are part of the voucher program (CMHA & Eden).

At what point do you start marketing?

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

I’m reminded of a buddy of mine who moved from Brooklyn to Scottsdale.. he initially thought the desert was just cacti and scorching heat, but soon realized there’s a thriving market here with pockets of real oportuntiy.Working with an investor who’s ready to spec build is a fantastic way to dive in.

There are a lot of affordable properties in Knoxville, but the growth isn't terribly vibrant and the deman isn't what you'd expect for a city of that size and that close to the Smokies - you're mostly looking at college rentals for the meat of the move season, and the SF market, while it exists, doesn't really compare to Chattanooga. 

How do I access a portion of that equity to fund the purchase of 1-2 more MFR properties in more affordable markets like OH, IN, MI, PA, TN, or AL?

What I love about them is they will even accept the higher lease amounts over the market rents if we can show first month's rent and security deposit.

I know that interest rate is WELL below market.

We bought our first property off market back in Sept 2024.
