Investing in real estate requires careful planning and due diligence, but with the right approach, it can be highly rewarding venture.

I highly recommend checking out this blog post and considering these states for your next investment. 

I have seen plenty of huds on properties I funded for fix and flippers were commissions were that high or higher and lets not talk about wholesalers who might charge 100% if they can get awaay with it.. difference is they dont disclose the brokers disclose to their sellers..

I became interested in real estate investing starting in 2023, but was discouraged with high-valuations and what appeared to be a tight housing market in Findlay.

I'd highly recommend looking at going to the Investor lab events or join the local REI.

That said, I'd recommend focusing on locations with high sales volume as you will have more options to choose from in these locations.So far this year, 240 multifamily properties (2-4 units) have sold in the Bronx - Source OneKeyMLSThe neighborhoods with the most sold properties are:- Wakefield and surrounding North Bronx neighborhoods (31 sold in '24)- Throggs Neck and surrounding Southeast Bronx neighborhoods (31 sold in '24)- Pelham Gardens (30 sold in '24)- Pelham Bay (28 sold in '24)These areas account for 50% of the recent Bronx multifamily sales... focus here to have more options!

Being that you are out of state, I would highly recommend that you work with one of them.

The city has been experiencing consistent population growth, which often translates to increased demand for housing. 

I rode high in that saddle.But then a series of unpleasant tenant things happened, and too many units needed to be rehabbed and rented out at once.

I have sellers of a t6-8 zoned property that would take 1 million right now I'm sure in Wynwood Norte. we can go 12 stories through max incentives and put 60 dwelling units on it. we entitle the land it becomes worth 3 million, then you have construction numbers, sale prices, etc. miami is crazy. the best way to make money from a professional in this industry for 13 years who lives in miami and looks at deals in columbus and miami is development and getting involved in early development opportunities of raw land in urban settings where there is very little risk and pushing high density.
