Have you explored any of these options yet?

Good afternoon @Kobina GrantWelcome to Bigger Pockets!

I’m reminded of a buddy of mine who moved from Brooklyn to Scottsdale.. he initially thought the desert was just cacti and scorching heat, but soon realized there’s a thriving market here with pockets of real oportuntiy.Working with an investor who’s ready to spec build is a fantastic way to dive in.

Philly is a nice option, but you have to study the blocks for about a year to be sure you understand the area you are investing in.

Adding the 1 & 2 bed option is a great start, have you looked at pricing and dropping it further than your peers?

Best option: don't invest in areas with high crime.Security cameras, motion-detecting lights, and plenty of signs that it's protected by a security system.

I did manage to get the flip rented out on a lease option.

As for the initial investment, I am working towards securing the necessary funds and am open to exploring various financing options that can facilitate this.Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks on my real estate investing journey, I remain determined and resilient.

There are many options, but I like TransUnion SmartMove the best.

In your case of a fourplex, option 2 should get you a better deal.I would also agree with Bill on how the number of units may not correlate with the value of the property unless it is a large multifamily complex, and sometimes a fourplex or several single family houses would give you better returns. 100% We always recommend conventional first until you can no longer qualify for those.
