My first duplex was a turnkey, off market property.

Good potential for appreciation/rent growth upside as well in the next 5-10 years in my opinion with the market still being one of the most affordable in the country.

It's tough to swallow, but if it's not renting, it's likely as simple as the market won't bear the price you're asking.

Another option is to estimate value based on potential income and market cap rates, which can give you an investor’s perspective.

I’m a member of both, as well as an agent and investor, and they’ve been great resources.Hope to meet you at an event soon and always happy to talk shop about the Milwaukee market or multi-family investing.

The structure also allows for mitigated tenant and maintenance risk, but it has increased dependence on market movements due to being appreciation based.

You’ve already got a solid foundation—understanding market trends, deal structuring, and negotiations will give you a great head start.I would recommend focusing on learning one niche at a time.

If your priority is passive income, syndications or out-of-state STRs in strong markets (Smoky Mountains, Gulf Coast, Scottsdale) make the most sense.Good luck! 

Anyways, on my latest project, the title came back yesterday and revealed two extra parcels of land deeded to the seller under the property I was under contract for.

I live in a very expensive market (Seattle, WA) and I am looking to invest out of State.
