As @Greg Scott mentioned, this is on the low end of deals like this and remember nothing is promised (check you docs on that).I own SFR homes that have far exceeded 10% returns due to their appreciation over the past 10 years or so.

I need to be the first millionaire in my family I promised it to myself, my mom is relying on me and the people that doubted me are watching me.

It's how you will make money and stay lendable.You’re right, I do lust after fake social media sometimes and I’m am trying to get away from my phone as much as I can.

Specifically, the Groveland and Oakhurst regions seem promising if I can find the right deal.I would love to hear from anyone with experience in short-term rentals in these areas.

People promise the world, but until you get in bed with them do you really know if they are all talk or not. 

I've too often seen an out of area investor get tied up financially with trusting a whole-salers or seller's description or promise of return / ARV.

and its a fake POF if you read it.. total BS and a stain on the industry.. absolute Fruad.. 

There are lots of vacant lots offered in Phila (mostly in North and SW Phila, that are duds of investments with no promise of short term or longer term upside). 

Detroit also saw a small population increase in 2023, the first uptick in almost 70 years, which is a promising trend.

While the market appears promising, it does seem to come with higher prices, rising HOA fees, and increased competition.
