Real estate is not the stock market and it's called buy & hold and not buy & sell for a reason.I did sell a few properties about 10 years ago when I learned the hard way that going into cheaper neighborhoods was not the right strategy for me, so that was basically a strategy correction and it was necessary, but also costly both in terms of dollars and time.

I think part of it is the neighborhood.  

Purchase price: $176,000 Have a signed PA and conditionally approved loan for single family residence in Fulton Market neighborhood!

I think you have a good plan, BRRRR is still a great route in the current market, and especially for the states you are already in - both Indiana and Georgia are very well positioned for BRRRR deals in my view / experience

A sellers market in general.

You can sell these things in an up market and make an absolute killing.

I rented out the additional bedrooms to friends and family, charging them well below market, and sold when it was time for my wife and I to start our own adventures.

Similar neighborhoods/suburbs to Clay/cicero would be in the east side of Syracuse, like DeWitt, Fayetteville, and Manlius.

I am hoping to make connections to learn more about this market, which neighborhoods to focus on, as well as learn some pro tips as I begin my investing journey.To note, I have begun the loan pre-approval process and have a dedicated agent that is eager to find me a great property. 

@Placeholder Placeholder, I've financed quite a few STR's in the St Pete market.
