Richmond is a growing market with strong tenant demand from young professionals, families, and college students, depending on the neighborhood.

I’m a licensed agent in Indiana and Georgia but open to advice and insights from anyone, anywhere.Looking forward to learning, connecting, and growing with this community.

Grand Rapids is a great market (we just vacationed here and loved it!).

Getting one property and cashflowing it will be a challenge. you can try seller financing but you are still going to be highly levered which just enhances the risk that you are taking on.The best way to grow is to focus on managing your rental, saving money through your W2 and crushing that - if you are a realtor you will make more crushing it as being a realtor than over leveraging real estate - then save for down payment and buy slowly. its not a rush.

Looking forward to growing my portfolio and connecting with the BiggerPockets community through out my journey!!

As a lender the pros are that the funds can grow at a particular percentage that the funds are lent at.

If you want to grow further sites, it will go better with financerelationships if you already have a track history and are in thebusiness.B.

Do you think rents will keep growing (they will).
