This is something I'm considering getting into - and would like insight on:- Cost (what to expect for price per sqft)- Book / Podcast / YouTube Channel recommendations Trying to learn as much as I can - looking forward to getting connected!

I would not recommend this to a new investor or who is not from the area.

I'm looking to purchase a single-family home in the $500k-$600k range with a long-term hold strategy. My goal is to find a property that rents well and offers decent appreciation.
I've narrowed my search to the follo...

I recommend focusing on paying down your debt as much as possible before considering real estate investments.

If there are specific areas in these states you all would recommend or other areas in the States worth exploring, please let us know!

For one STR you don't need it and quite honestly I recommend folks not to use PMS when starting out.  

Assume the property is well located with average appreciation ...Selling some properties of mine and just curious what the average investor buyer is thinking ...Thanks guys I wouldn't personally recommend deliberately buying a property you believe will be negative cash flow.

Not sure if I would immediately go to using AI for recommendation/match making.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
