How many people are in your “sphere of influence” that will use you to buy or sell without needing to pay for marketing? 

I wouldn't focus singularly on individual city initiatives/projects and would recommend focusing more on fundamentals.

This is the max it seems most "A" lenders will loan too, I might get 50% from a credit union but that still probably not help in the short term.How do people keep going?

This is something a lot of people need to read going into flipping..

Too many people doing the same thing doesn't land strong results.

People will forever say “avoid Detroit” or good luck cash flowing…. 

Looking to either sell individually or as a package to an investor.

Anyways, I'm seeing a lot of general speculation on here but people don't invest in these markets because they believe they're the greatest places to live in the world, they're interested in the cash flow and possible appreciation.None of my clients were talking about appreciation in the Cleveland market in 2019 and now their properties are worth 30-40% more, and that's on top of record high rent prices in this market. 

Most people never own a single rental.

I've only invested in STRs and was looking to get into small multi-family but haven't seen anything that made sense in any of the markets I invest in so was curious where people were seeing good opportunities.
