This preference for city living has fueled demand for urban condos, lofts, and apartments, driving revitalization efforts in downtown areas and contributing to the development of mixed-use communities that combine residential, retail, and commercial spaces.Emphasis on Sustainability and Energy Efficiency: Millennials are more environmentally conscious than previous generations, placing a high value on sustainability, energy efficiency, and eco-friendly features when choosing a home.

Its certainly hard to cash flow significantly in the current environment (high rates, high values etc) - I tend to think though that just "doing" a first deal even if it doesn't make too much is valuable versus getting stuck in analysis paralysis - the learning from the experience of actual doing it generally is 10X + even a ton of courses, info, spreadsheets etc

I am very eager to start taking action and learning but live in a high cost of living market (Boston) currently and for several reasons (need to save more, move to lower cost of living place etc.) will not be able to start for at least 1.5 years. 

But with the new high interest rates it is very hard to decide if I should wait or bite the bullet.

Two big ones are the high minimum investment and the challenge of vetting syndicators and property deals.

So, looking at the flips I take on, with anticipated profits in the $70k+ range, the setup costs alone are eating nearly 20% of your potential profits, and that is before any real splits with your investors, leaving both your investors and you with not a lot of money left to spread around.A fund could work, but typically, for the economics of a syndication/fund structure to work, you are looking at several million of equity, leveraged up to high single millions, if not into $10+ million range for their to be enough money to make it worth everyone's efforts.

We are doing OK but hope to get a lot more bookings the rest of the year for people coming to Pigeon Forge.Travel spending continues to break through all time highs. 

Their sky-high value will begin to decline at some point.End of year I am grossing $25k each unit, and netting $11k on the paid off unit after taxes, insurance, HOA fees and modest repairs.

I highly recommend Brandon and Heather Turner’s book, “The Book on Managing Rental Properties.”

I would prefer the risk of a renovation to upgrade a building as opposed to location risk with a high risk tenant pool.
