He then had a mentor that taught him one-on-one to invest in real estate.

@Derick JenningsGreat to see you diving into real estate investing!

Happy to send over some resources regarding the Columbus Ohio market and why it's a great market to invest into!

If you move to NYC, focus on maximizing your earning potential while investing in affordable out-of-state markets with strong rental demand, like San Antonio or Indianapolis.

Insurance is now a big factor in the expenses of investment properties, even here in Reno, NV there are areas that have had large increases for single and multifamily properties.

Probably not a lot of advantage to small MF vs single family so I would stay open to both. 

Where specifically in this area you are looking to invest? 

For any investors in the group, take a peak at #10 Greensboro/High PointIt's an interesting choice of verbiage to look at "median" sale price YoY because 10% feels like A LOT on the entry-level/investment inventory, and more of what I see in the high-end resale and, specifically, new construction inventory that tends to swing our avg's way up in the macro.Completely disagree that rent will be 0%.

A triplex that cheap is hard to come by I'm curious as to which market you're investing in and the state of the property.
