Quote from @John Paul Palace: Our plan was to invest locally, however our market here is tough.

@Lucas DeAndrade how much knowledge do you think you've accumulated about the Akron market?

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

My problem i is my market is super expensive if I stay in the nyc area and I don’t have the confidence since I don’t have any actual experience to invest out of state do you guys think paying off my mortgage would be more beneficial than looking for more rentals .

I am not an expert here but my thought is that you would learn a lot by getting your license and have more credibility in the industry at large so if your time and finances allow- get that license:)

Firstly I apologize that I do not have any market insights data specifically, but Houston has been a rough market as valuations have pulled back.

In my market - new build duplexes dont cash flow well but are typically a great 5-10 year investment. 

I have an off market opportunity for a 3 plex that I’m looking at.

Also, if you're having trouble finding inventory in your market, look for single family homes with accessory units or even mother daughter setups.

Is my CoC return solid, or do I need to adjust anything based on my market?
