I'd love to hear any perspectives on how the strategy works in the area and would appreciate any guidance on good neighborhoods / towns / areas to take a look at or ones to be cautious of.

A great investor focused agent, coupled with a great PM, can get returns in a bad market if they know what they are doing.Investors should pick market based on barrier to entry and their available Capital and their strategy. 

The wonderful thing about owning an investment property are the options/strategies to consider in a situation like yours.

I would advise as others have here, and strongly suggest the house hack strategy to start with!

Then I would identify some possible investment strategies such as : Buy & hold long term rentals, Short term rentals, BRRRRR, Fix & flip, etc and see which one(s) might fit my goals and situation best and why. 

Seems a lot of diff factors that affect any holding strategy up there so we are leaning more on the fix n flip side first, then we’ll look into STRs as we learn more about the area!

This strategy not only increases the likelihood of generating more leads but also positions you to offer the most appropriate solutions, whether that's a fast cash deal or a traditional market listing.
