What a great start to your investment journey @Abby Blumenfeld! 

Taking a leap at 21 and turning a fixer-upper into a solid rental is really impressive.

I’d love to hear where you’re investing and why you chose those areas.

I have about 1$110K to invest, and I am looking to invest in the next few months. 

I will be looking for an "investor" oriented realtor to bird dog properties and areas to invest. 

You could not pay me to invest in cook county.

As with many others I'm sure, looking for guidance on affordable cities that still provide a solid return / cash flow.

I'd also suggest self-managing your first property to maximize cash flow and learn by doing for any future investments.

You can still find solid investment properties at reasonable prices, which can lead to strong cash flow.Diverse neighborhoods: Cleveland has a wide variety of neighborhoods, each with its own character and investment potential.

Our dollar is losing value so you need to be with a solid operator in institutional assets that cashflow in markets while hedging inflation with tax benefits.
