In our case, we are focused on Northern Virginia (specifically Alexandria, VA).

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

@NA NASince this is your first purchase, focus on finding a property where the numbers work, rather than just any deal.

@Brian LuterYour focus on small multifamily and land acquisition is a strong strategy, especially for scaling and long-term value creation.

I am looking to focus my investing on the commercial space specifically value add apartment complexes.

We work hard to keep things positive and real estate-focused (no politics or religion).

Right now, I’m focused on finding my first multifamily property to house hack in the New London, CT or Greater Boston area.Goals with BiggerPocketsI joined to connect with experienced investors, learn more about financing and property management, and take action on my first deal this year.

Like others have mentioned, there are definitely areas that make more sense than others depending on if you want to focus on cashflow or appreciation (just like with any investment).

Should I focus on buy and hold, flipping, wholesaling, or perhaps commercial properties?

They sell a 4 unit for close to 1 million dollars close to Jacksonville. they want 250k or 300k down. there's no upside. you can google the properties on biggerpockets and there isn't a lot of satisfaction. it's a slow return and get rich slow strategy. our focus is always as a builder to add maximum value, lower cost as low as possible, build and rent and build and sell the same product and raise prices to help investors out. we have a large market share and large purchasing power in our market in columbus ohio. the one strategy I never liked about turnkey new build brokerage companies like them and build2rent or others is they don't really build close to urban centers and most are single family homes. the numbers don't work on single family homes. if single family was the way to go more companies would be doing it. but by far the most common type of new construction built is three story walk up apartments.
