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

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.

I don't know if shifting to MTR could generate greater interest but it doesn't solve the marketability issue and all you are doing is punting the root issue down the road. 

My goal is to achieve financial freedom by age 36 and to understand various aspects such as investing education, strategies, business planning, properties, marketing, and exit strategies.

➡️Harness the power of branding and marketing.

Since you’re focused on buy & hold multiplexes, consider networking with local investors, refining your underwriting skills, and researching markets with strong cash flow and appreciation potential.

I purchased a duplex (Austin, TX) at peak market prices in 2022 for $720k.

And if houses are showing an owner having been there for 10+ years when that owner actually sold 8 months ago, then I might market to a completely unqualified lead. 

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.
