Multifamily investors usually look to balance risk and return - usually picking either B or C neighborhoods to buy rentals in.

a lot of new investors pick the cheapest markets in the country regardless of how far away they are, and how much knowledge they have of them, and I think that's a huge mistake. 

Stated baldly - your track record at picking syndication investments is, thus far, a losing one.I am certainly not an investor with BAM Capital.

Sounds like you just need to find a deal that makes sense.. reach out if you want to pick my brain. 

As far as investing out of state goes, I would pick something you can drive to in 4 hrs or less.

I've taken a couple real estate courses but Big Pockets is the best and I have been binge watching for the last 2 weeks and im super excited to start investing im looking to do the Brrrr strategy and looking to pick up small multi family properties and possibly off market flips. 

My tombstone should read: pick efficient investments, not tax-efficient investments.

anyone can buy a bad deal - just go on Zillow and pick the first property you see and buy it. 

Here’s what’s happening, seems like a subto student picked up a sfh for 4K and is paying the owners mortgage.he then decided he would not continue to do so, and listed it as “take over payments” on Craigslist, for 17k.

The demographics and map data don't take the students into account, but they're really what's driving the market.Low property values and ever-increasing student rents are a recipe for a market when you can pick up a duplex in decent condition for $150k, and rent it for $500/bed (that's an EGI of $36,000 annually for a 3/3 duplex).
