I've narrowed down the best return for my money in this market to a 2 bed/2 bath (with top tier amenities) - about 500 total 2/2 listings.I'm finding myself a bit stuck when analyzing why certain properties are making so much higher than the average listings when they seem to have very similar locations, amenities, style, flow of home, beds/# of people they sleep, reviews, number of reviews, etc.

It’s one of the few places where you can realistically achieve solid returns without needing a massive upfront investment.If you’re open to exploring other markets, Detroit might be worth considering.

Wooden, furniture-style vanities.

What adds complexity to our plan, is that we live in Minnesota... ...How challenging is it to meet the material participation hours needed to achieve active status?..

Some clients who are more aggressive will invest in B-/C+/C class areas in Dayton 1-4 units and get A LOT of cash flow, but incur risks of evictions, expensive turnover renovations, and general C class neighborhood headaches.What are you looking to achieve?

I would suggest making sure that you are following a set format/style of house each time you flip to systemize it more2.

For me my main goal and I achieve was being able to put them through collage on  my dime and then set them loose with no burden financially.

My ultimate goal is to build a portfolio of cash-flowing properties to achieve financial freedom.I’m currently seeking mentors who can guide me through this journey and help me avoid common pitfalls.

Outline your goals and ask them how they can help you achieve those.

With thoughtful planning, you’ll be well on your way to building wealth and achieving your goals.Good luck!
