So, I’m curious how you are managing to find your deals, whether you are buying at auctions or via marketing direct to sellers.

Not sure why owners invest in rentals, yet do very little research on market conditions!

Maine in particular has a few markets with a decent amount of multifamilies.

The key for me wasn't to invest in the 'best place' but to know a market so well that a deal jumps off the page when it appears.

San Antonio is a hot market still for flipping.

At that point in time the market was still hot for properties at my price point in my buy box.

The area has seen growth in both the residential and rental markets, making it a potentially lucrative investment.For financing, you can explore options like conventional loans, FHA loans (for owner-occupied properties), or even local programs that might offer lower down payments for investment properties.

I'm planning on buying a LTR at the moment, likely small multifamily. markets are hard too.

You need to charge whatever you are having to pay, and that will vary by market and cleaner.

Quote from @Shayan Sameer: Quote from @Samuel Diouf: Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're looking for appreciation markets that still have cashflowing deals under $200k.
