The market has a lot of strong points right now: affordable entry prices, great rent-to-price ratios, and high demand for rentals, especially in the Section 8 space.What’s even more exciting is the direction Detroit is heading.

Just a heads-up: with the way the insurance market has been here over the past couple of years, this is accurate as of today, but things could look very different (for better or worse) in 6+ months.

If the market is appreciating rapidly, I'm with you—equity growth takes the lead.

Maybe it's in my head but sometimes there are two LVP advertised online with the same thickness, but in real life one feels obviously thinner/thicker.

I am over my head.

Hi Meghan,   My wife and I live in Coon Rapids, but have 2 rental houses in Duluth that we rent to college students.

He took a 401(k) loan to fund the down payment on a four-unit building in a rapidly appreciating neighborhood.

Older properties can be picked up for < 50% of ARV and go up in value in rapid ways with urban renewal efforts … I’ve seen this happen time and time again and so it’s worth saying, diversification is ideal.

I am eager to start but can't get around the glaring issue of not having initial capital so I was wondering if there are any methods you guys would use to raise capital if you were in my shoes or is it just time to put my head down and put in long hours? 

You'll want to stretch yourself, but not get in over your head.
