Thank you for the suggestion on MiniStays we'll check it out!

If you are return-driven, I would suggest investing in start-up companies, like tech businesses, etc.

The only thing I'd suggest is to raise your rents unless you think you're at the top of the market.

Or like many small in businesses you raise cash from friends family and anyone else that knows loves and trusts you.The other thing I suggest is to make that $27,000 or $37000, or $50000 yourself over the next year. 

Industry experts suggest the current uncertainty creates ideal investment conditions for those willing to enter the market.As we step into 2025, we wish our valued readers prosperity in their investments, clarity in their decisions, and success in seizing the opportunities ahead.

One on beds, one being laundered, and one clean set in the closet.Not sure about the infrastructure in that market but I did not see it suggested you use a commercial laundry. 

I would suggest focusing on Norfolk over Portsmouth,  its a better market with more appreciation. 

Being new I would suggest started with existing builds but building small multifamily in a small town with a rental shortage could be a smart move (someone's gotta do it).

That is where I suggest starting as I've had some success.
