If not, who do you believe the natural buyer is and why do you believe they will pay retail when they can replicate what you accomplished with any number of available properties on the market at any given time?

Look at their marketing strategy.

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

I am proficient in investing and confident in earning 7-10% returns in the market over the next decade or two.

Hows the market up there these days?

A lot to take in with the Cincinnati market.

And.....”preREO”...just another goofy a$$ made up marketing term. 

I've narrowed down the best return for my money in this market to a 2 bed/2 bath (with top tier amenities) - about 500 total 2/2 listings.I'm finding myself a bit stuck when analyzing why certain properties are making so much higher than the average listings when they seem to have very similar locations, amenities, style, flow of home, beds/# of people they sleep, reviews, number of reviews, etc.

Personally, my primary residence has appreciated around 6% in market value and I live in Levittown. 

Hopefully, by year 3 the market will be good enough for a refinance as well!
