I don't really want to invest in a D-class area.Tangentially, what are some of your "it's time to sell this property" red lines when it comes to the changing economic conditions of an area? 

The state's economic dynamism, natural beauty, cultural attractions, and educational institutions continue to draw people and investment.

Additionally, add in the ambiguity/risk of the due on sale clause or ramifications on the conventional loan of transferring the property from your individual name to an LLC - the economics don't make sense, and the headache isn't worth it even if it did, in my opinion!

@Brittany MyrickIf I were getting started in real estate investing in New England, I’d focus on researching local market trends, especially job growth, rental demand, and the broader economic outlook.

I can also allow a tenant to grow with me - just moved a family from a two bedroom to a three bedroom apartment.Personally the only reasons I would choose to invest in multiple markets is a) because I wanted an excuse to go somewhere regularly or b) for economic/geographic diversity.I had the advantage that my home market was good.

Our economic system has inflation, which favors the banks, baked into the system.

I spent my twenties in the area and have seen the economic growth.

The “methodology” the guru presents either isn’t all that profitable, isn’t as simple to enact as he suggests, and or works only with certain limits as to economic climate, geographical area, etc.2.

This had nothing to do with economic or underwriting issues but was driven by covid and many workers beginning to work from home. 

We hear from a lot of out of state investors that Milwaukee is a great place to invest in real estate due to its affordability and strong economic growth.
