About me, most of my assets are RE but in another market so I would be diversifying in that market.Potential for appreciation is very uncertain: prices have risen a lot locally lately and are as high as they have ever been, and it’s unlikely higher prices would be affordable by locals.

@Dan Geffen moved down there and knows the area well if you want to connect with a local investor.

I have a local handyman that helped me hired junk removal company and pest control for the roaches.

Nonetheless, it was made possible by a local credit union.

There’s huge retal income potential if you nail that balance between improvements that wow tenants and improvements that merely look fancy but don’t justify higher rents.I’d also keep an eye on how your high end plan fits the local demand.

If you have a local appliance store near the rental, go there and talk to them.

I'm looking at small multifamiles and won't have an issue with capital thankfully.I am in Arkansas and looking to stay local-ish initially.

If you’re thinking of branching out, cities like Austin or San Antonio are worth considering, but staying local has its perks too.

One of the key challenges I’m facing is understanding the financing options available to someone without Canadian residency or a local credit history.From my research, it seems that a 35% down payment is often required, with interest rates around 7.5-8.5% for non-residents.
