Focus on smaller single-family homes, condos with low HOA fees, or multi-family properties in these regions, and build a reliable local team of agents, property managers, and other professionals to ensure a smooth investing experience.

Quote from @Kyle Carter: I want to buy an apartment building and rent it out to all section 8 tenants.

My first rental I asked the guy at the closing table how much he usually got for rent and he told me he could pretty reliably get 300-400.

The sale price will most likely be around $500,000 and the mortgage is currently about $200,000.I plan on using the profits (let’s just say $300,000) to build an ADU on property that my family owns in Central Oregon.

I know building a reliable local network will be key, so I'm hoping to connect with experienced real estate team in the area.The military presence in Jacksonville catches my eye, and I'm particularly interested in properties that might appeal to military personnel and the associated contractors.

What rate, term and amount borrowed did you get for the ADU build and what was the cost?

In the end, people rely on internet for all sorts of things and you want that to be reliable.

If willing to invest more effort for higher ROI, consider Option 3 (building your own team), though it requires time to establish reliable management.

I started by building a 12-door portfolio using the BRRRR method and self-managing initially.

I’d love to hear about the crime rates or any other issues (which we cannot guess from the online stats), and how easy or hard it is to find reliable tenants and property management companies.
