I live in California (Central Coast) and have built a 12-door portfolio in Detroit, which has been a great market for both cash flow and long-term potential.Detroit still offers properties well below the $150k mark, with strong rent-to-price ratios and a market that’s seeing growth in key areas.

While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.

Another option is investing in real estate through partnerships or fractional ownership, focusing on properties that yield cash flow or appreciation potential.For long-term growth, consider diversifying into assets such as private equity, tax liens, or even certain types of real estate that offer both capital appreciation and income potential over time.

., known for its upscale appeal and strong demand for vacation homes.Properties in the Hamptons attract affluent buyers and renters, offering a high potential for appreciation and steady rental income.he property may have been undervalued due to its condition, presenting an opportunity to add value through targeted renovations.

I figured this could possibly put me in a good position for a cash-out refinance when I’m ready to move on to a second property.If I stick within my budget, Philadelphia seems to offer the most housing availability, but I’m concerned about most houses available being in rougher neighborhoods.

I’ve seen cases where the lender filed the deed in lieu, then when the borrower threatened suit offered them a cash settlement to forgo litigation.  

Very excited to meet like minded people and see what I have to offer. 

Find a reliable team, offer fair pay, and keep them motivated to stick with you for future projects.That’s what I have off the top of my head.

The reason is because the companies that back these assets, and some others, have a 1:1 between their tokens and the USD (I'm unfamiliar if EURS, THKD, and stables of other fiat offer 1:1).A possible scenario would be that you offer the seller to pay in a stable coin, like mentioned above.

One long-shot option is to offer a lease at something like $1,300.
