Like @Sarah Miller and @Marcy Albrecht said, you can buy places within the city limits but it's still about location. with that said, i'm always looking out for my end game. one of the issues with buying in certain parts of canton is that when you decide you're done, you may not be able to unload your properties.

Within a year, the property was cash flow positive and had appreciated significantly.For you, I’d suggest:Look into ADU laws - They’re a game-changer in San Diego, especially if your partner is handy with renovations.Expand your market - @Dan H. makes a great point - it's a competitive market here!

These types of loans typically require at least a 10-20% down payment, as lenders want to see that you’re financially committed to the project.There are ways to get creative but they still require some form of skin in the game. 

I just started investing with them a few months ago, and I'm new to the game here. 

I recently came across a piece in Forbes talking about how quickly rental dynamics can evolve when population growth spikes.I’m based in Phoenix and have been in the real estate game for three decades, and a close friend of mine recently reminded me how the right connections can shape your entire strategy.

Gotta have some skin in the game. 

Views, indoor pools, game rooms and proximity to attractions.

Nothing wrong with being a bit new - there are options out there for all stages of the game.

There is a reason we lenders require "skin in the game" and experience.
