It might help to eliminate the places you would not want to invest to narrow your search.

I think everyone's situation is different, and when one crafts their buy box, they need to consider their current family and finances.For me, when I started, I wanted to buy 2-4 unit distressed properties in neighborhoods I wanted to live. 

Hi Everyone,I’m investing in an essentially turnkey (it was a flip) MFH in Woonsocket, RI and wanted to get your take from anyone who has experience in the city.I know the city has a bit of a reputation, but it’s in the Fairmount neighborhood that tends to be quite good.

Glad to help.

Unless y'all have an incredible W2 to help with the purchase, you will not find something that "works" in the Triangle and in a good/safe location.

On top of that, the rent-to-price ratios in Detroit often outperform other markets, which can mean solid cash flow alongside appreciation potential as the city continues to grow.The key with Detroit is understanding the nuances of the market—it has a large footprint, and neighborhoods can vary drastically, even block by block.

Because of the neighborhood and the historic appeal of the house & apartment, LVP could diminish the appeal, believe it or or not. 

Assuming this is an 8 cap neighborhood you'd have a ~$420-450k value within a year (unless property taxes are crazy high) when leases would renew since it'd be valued as a commercial building with the office space.

I just wanted to piggyback by saying you can still find those kind of deals, but like Nicolas was saying, it's probably going to be on the east side, in C- to D neighborhoods. 

Lord Knows the SS could use some help !!!
