One potential mentor I had one phone call with and never contacted him again. 

With this in mind, if you intend to leverage short-term debt (hard money), it's even more vital that your underwriting is thorough and that you have the correct systems in place to tackle potential issues.

I recently did some data crunching on Zillow's public datasets. I wanted to see what markets have both a relatively high rent-to-price ratio and high appreciation. I came up with this list:region-name:mean-appreciatio...

My question is do I go forward with purchasing the property and deal with the higher insurance and potential hazard or is it smarter to walk away?

If you want good cash flow but amazing appreciation potential and rentals you want to hold for the rest of your life, I would definitely consider Columbus!

But with more it could probably be apraised for 500k ARV or more.Also the house has a lot of rental income potential aswell.

In Collin County, consider properties with strong appreciation potential in areas like Plano or Frisco.

However, longer-term bonds (1-5+ years) are subject to interest rate volatility:If rates rise, bond values drop, potentially leading to negative net returns.If rates fall, bonds appreciate, but gains are capped by their fixed coupon rates.While Treasuries provide stability, they offer limited upside and carry hidden risks for medium- to long-term maturities.Why Real Estate Is a Stronger Option in Today’s MarketMultifamily real estate, particularly value-add properties, presents an asymmetric risk-reward profile that Treasuries simply cannot match.

Cash Payment: Decide whether you'll finance the purchase or pay in full.Future Resale Value: Factor in potential appreciation of the property.2.

I'll be specifically looking to start in the Cincinnati, Ohio and lean towards targeting buy and hold single family and potentially multi family as well.Any advice is appreciated and I look forward to connecting.
