@Mitch ProvostFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, your property near Texas A&M in College Station/Bryan has strong investment potential due to the consistent demand for student housing driven by steady enrollment growth.

Go places where you can connect with potential buyers and sellers. 

Pick one with value add potential.  

Flipping, renting, or sitting tight for long-term appreciation-there is potential for anyone willing to do the work.

I want to be able to find potential markets/listings nationally based on the return. 

Sounds like you guys have the potential to be an amazing property management team!

For first-time investors, neighborhoods like Riverside, Murray Hill, and North Jacksonville could be good places to start, offering strong rental demand and potential for growing neighborhoods.

You can still find positive cash flow (aka the 1% rule) and amazing appreciation potential.

Instead of paying into someone else’s property, you could be using that allowance to finance your own real estate investment.In Germany, you have access to a stable market with long-term growth potential, and U.S. service members and government civilians have unique advantages here.

If you currently rent for $2,500 and take the $1,750; you have additional positive cash flow of $750 for your rent situation.Have you thoroughly looked over the capex potential issues?
