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

You were not afforded a reasonable (in most states, 30 days) amount of notice to re-market your property. 

When considering pivot strategies like converting a flip to a rental or utilizing short-term rental (STR) platforms, it's essential to conduct a thorough market analysis before making such changes.

I own one rental house in Cypress, but with the current market I have not been able to find another existing single family home to buy that looks like a good investment. 

And yes it sure isn't what it seems, especially in this market.

Out-of-state investing in cash-flow markets or partnering with experienced investors for passive returns are also great ways to put your capital to work.

If the latter, how does that look on a day to day in terms of operating, marketing, and the ownership structure?

The area has seen growth in both the residential and rental markets, making it a potentially lucrative investment.For financing, you can explore options like conventional loans, FHA loans (for owner-occupied properties), or even local programs that might offer lower down payments for investment properties.

our market is in Columbus Ohio and we are currently doing infill as a strategy. single family home by right can be built on any infill lot in columbus but for multifamily this strategy becomes part of entitlements and rezoning. 

I'm in the small Eugene market, which in terms of industry and jobs offers no real reason to be here.
