I would highly recommend Elevate Investing Group's meetup. 

I'm really hoping to develop long-lasting professional relationships in order to establish myself as an international property investor.Thanks in advanceRyanIt really depends on your goals, if you are looking for more cash flow and slightly more elevated risk, go for markets like Baltimore,Pittsburgh and other Midwest/rust belt cities.

Then you get a plan and elevations for all trades (plumber, electrician and carpenter) to work with.I think for STR it's okay.

The first floor was retail & the condo apartments above were all a minimum of 1500 square feet; 20-foot ceilings, some with loft areas, elevators in the building, indoor parking for residents,.....

What are the accessibility features, such as ramps, elevators, or designated spaces for people with disabilities?

The problem he ran into was that the elevator had not been brought up to code since the early 60s(yikes) and needed to be completely replaced.

@Orianna Hernandez  I'd be interested in contracting you to write my elevator pitch.

While I was leaving I got to talking to a guy on the elevator who currently has 8 section 8 properties around Dallas county and he swears by it.

Most multi doesn't cashflow well, especially older with elevators, it's really low profit- much of the capital gains is in the speculative selling and principal paydown if any during the multi year hold. long analysis short- if caprate doesnt hit your predefined parms (IRR targets), walk- that takes less than 10mins with a model. maybe another 30 for DD on the phone to get real rental comps tops. 

With the expanded Apple campus in the works, the new casino, and the city announcing "Project Elevate," I do not see this changing any time soon (even with the new builds going in).
