We're targeting Baltimore Metro region, and hoping to build a helpful network that we can contribute back to, along the way!

I appreciate your information on the spreads you look for, I was looking for $225K in DC and $175K in NoVa but it wasn't seeming to leave much wiggle room, I was thinking about increasing my target spread but want sure if that was too large a spread, knowing that you look for that range helps tremendously in that I know I'm not crazy looking at those numbers haha.

If you send it one month and then switch to paid social media ads for a month and then to FSBOs you won't gain much traction.

And that would make your reinvestment target still $500K ish.

Most agents provide a market update in some form (social media posts, or monthly newsletter/email).

We have targeted 2-4 units that need minimum repair (as long as the property can be approved by VA appraiser).

@Michael Noto @Ilgaz Arikan, What I will say though however, is that I do have a couple colleagues that specifically have STR around New Haven targeting travel nurses and transplant patients, and college areas.

Population growth, income growth, job growth, job diversification and rent growth can be good filters to help determine target markets.

Multi family attracts me because of the potential it offers to increase one's cashflow and net-worth tremendously in a relatively short amount of time compared to traditional means - at least this is impression I'm getting from numerous media/social media sources.

But they have systems and processes in place for all of their homes that target their minimum.
