Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a single-family home be a better option near Disney World, especially one with a pool, if it's affordable?

Detroit stands out because of its affordability, strong rent-to-price ratios, and a market that’s seen steady appreciation over the last several years.

For example do you have a great w2 and can you afford to cover costs of a major repair or 3 months of vacancy?

A lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.

The last one, however, started with many people from two certain neighborhoods, gathered by a local non-profit, who spoke much about affordable housing, being displaced, etc.

One appeared visibly unoccupied, with a mattress and other debris on its porch and its upstairs windows boarded up.Of the remaining seven homes, The Inquirer was able to question residents of four about whether they continued to be charged rent.All said they had been.One tenant, Shanna Anderson, said she stopped being able to afford her $1,750-a-month rent to DHI Fund and RAD at her Parkside rowhouse after losing her job at a real estate brokerage during the pandemic.In late November, RAD threatened to evict her if she failed to pay $6,530 owed for unpaid rent since August.Her home’s rental license has been inactive since late July, according to L&I records.

The area’s affordability and Huntsville’s overall growth leave me optimistic, but time will tell.For my next investment, I’m thinking about buying a single-family home or duplex in the Midwest—Cincinnati is at the top of my list.

Fewer but better properties will usually outperform more "affordable" properties. 

It was massive, around 5,000 sq.ft. and I remember thinking “how are we going to afford this?”

Quote from @Paul T.: I always thought he was a scam, but several other investors I know and trust like him, so I ended up buying some of his lower level stuff, books, recordings and whatnot.
