That is my competitive advantage. 

I understand the rate is competitive on the assumable, but having $300k liquid, you might as well do a lower downpayment and Buy down the rate. 

However, like any market, success depends on selecting the right neighborhoods and building a solid team on the ground.In Indianapolis, areas like Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, and Irvington have seen strong appreciation and rental demand, but they can be more competitive.

I think comparing to the two-- syndications vs index funds-- is too difficult because of the nature of the specific RE under the syndication versus the broad economy(global and domestic) the index funds capture.

It is solid to look at deals that are off-market and know that the ability to buy it at a price and either hold it or sell it will be coming with less competition on the purchase and more upside.  

I feel the Milwaukee market is getting more competitive every year.

Given the competitiveness in Scottsdale, exploring duplexes or triplexes might be a more feasible alternative to larger multi-family units.

It’s especially effective in eastern PA, where competition and inventory can be tough.If you’ve got $80K, I’d suggest capping your initial spend at $60-65K.

This is becoming more true for government employees clearly given the recent "Use It" act which will require 400,000 government employees to go from a remote to a hybrid role which started in January of 2024 and will continue to ramp up as time goes on (Source 1, Source 2)This trend will continue as companies realize more increasingly they need to be at least hybrid to be competitive.
