Quote from @Lorenzo Lopez: Hello all,I am trying to do my first deal/buy my first MF property but I haven't been able to move the needle.I am focusing on Small MF (2-4 units), with a value-add strategy.

Cool, what are you focusing on to pin down which investment strategy you're looking for?

I’ve focused mainly on Florida but have also looked at options in Sacramento and other slightly more remote locations in CA.While I’m familiar with value-add strategies (ADUs, renovations or storage rentals), these seem like heavy lifts for modest gains.

Whether you need advice on selling your property or exploring other investment strategies, feel free to reach out!

I’ve seen many buyers successfully execute this strategy over the years, turning such properties into valuable investments.

Thanks in advance for any advice. 

Here’s why:Affordability: You can find solid properties here well within your $200k–$300k budget.Cash Flow Potential: Indianapolis has a growing population, a diverse economy, and relatively low property taxes compared to some other midwestern markets like Cleveland.Investor-Friendly: Indy is landlord-friendly with strong rental demand, especially in neighborhoods near downtown, universities, and revitalized areas like Fountain Square or Irvington.If you’re open to a strategy involving light renovations, there are plenty of opportunities to add equity and boost rental income here.

This will help me address the process and opportunities more thoroughly and effectively.Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences and thoughts—I truly value your input!

From what I’ve seen in Bloomberg, it also doesn’t hurt to keep tabs on any shifts in local buying trends.One more thing I’d consider is the exit strategy.

What type of investment strategy do you focus on?
