Start by researching the market to choose the right city and property type while understanding the local economy.

Does anyone have experience with ADU's (accessory dwelling units) in any market, but particularly Cincinnati?

I’m looking to start in DFW since I live in Arlington but eventually I’ll be open to other markets to diversify my portfolio.  

Hey Brian, for software to assist with rehab costs, finding deals, and ARV comps, I recommend software like the BiggerPockets Calculator, DealMachine, PropStream, and Zillow, to name a few.It might also be worth considering adding a solid agent to your team who specializes in off-market deals.

Found on Zillow during a competitive time in the market.

Local REIA groups and meetups (check Meetup.com or BiggerPockets) are excellent for connecting with both new and experienced investors.I’d be happy to grab coffee and chat about the market or share insights.

Bham is a great market.

thanks for the guidance @Kaushik Sarkar Since it's development it will take longer to get to the exit. 3 years could be right depending on the market, if the project requires entitlements, how long it takes for permits, no major utility obstacles, etc.

Urban markets are the best markets for MTRs.

I was actually born in Hartford - would love to know how the market is over there!
