I don’t know if I should invest in the Jersey market and put maybe 20-50% down on something, make less cash flow and make more appreciation, or every two years or so maybe buy something fully cash (my own $) in the Midwest let’s say 5-10 units and make more cash flow with no debt as with the income I make I can just save and buy more, don’t necessarily need to leverage in some markets.

I had a wild old man call me one time when I first started sending out yellow letters asking me why I wanted to buy his house when I live in a perfectly fine house.  

If you buy a property with a tenant already there, what if the home needs a lot of rehab when they move out?

Suck it up, buy a property.

There is enough posts on the form about the pros and cons of buying turnkey. 

I can promise you that my first deal was TERRIBLE, but I lived at a reduced monthly cost to living than renting/buying a single family and that is what mattered. 

For myself, I currently look for buy and hold with long term appreciation. 

I am also still buying flips/LTR..

Airbnb is a company so the only way to buy one would be to own stock in the company.
