I was initially really focused on Indianapolis, I think the downtown growth and attractiveness of lifestyle there are really promising, and I saw a lot of the indicators that made me invest in Williamsburg in Brooklyn before that became a highly desirable area, and similar feeling to Oakland and San Jose here in CA (ranked #1 and #2 fastest selling real estate markets by Trulia recently).

Crystal Clear Criteria (hopefully) for Q2 2022 Purchase:Small Multifamily Home<$100KNeeding <$10K of rehabAble to get conventional mortgage, $20K down (20%)West Cleveland Area (we have seen many listings that look to close on our criteria in West Blvd, Detroit Shoreway, Cudell, Edgewater, Old Brooklyn, and Ohio City, but we are absolutely open to local agent/other investor expertise here to point us to an appropriate area) or other recommended Cleveland Metro Area towns.Looking forward to joining this awesome Cleveland REI community and starting to learn and give back!

I remember my dad and uncle talking about how frustrated they were at the time with my grandfather's refusal to buy a house (in Brooklyn in the 1950's... yeah, I know, that would be nice to have in the family now, right?)

Side note- I’ve experienced the market difference and redevelopment changes of 5 years in similar housing class, in Brooklyn and Queens.

Account Closed I see a lot going on in Baltimore and it reminds me a lot of Brooklyn in the past 10 years or so.

I live in Brooklyn, NY but my fiancée grew up in Orlando and she is very familiar with the area. 

or a few options of 4 families in Brooklyn NY which cashflow but are a steeper upfront investment.

@Diane G.Although I'm in Brooklyn, NYC, I thought I would share my experience on a re-rental I had done for a Move in Date of May 1st.In late March, just a week before the lockdown, I placed an ad for a 1 Bedroom Garden Apt in Brooklyn's Bed-Stuy neighborhood for $2,450.

Great insight, and wonderful anecdotal evidence regarding your friends.I recently got the listing for the Brooklyn Bridge, since NYC is basically dead, I can sell it to you for a 50% discount.
