Good rental market* ( BP won’t allow me to edit my post title. )Hello,I'm looking to invest in a property for house hacking or to live in for 1-2 years before converting to a rental.

If the property appraises at $500K, 25% higher than purchase price, either because you bought it for less or due to market appreciation, then you essentially get all your $100K back.  

BiggerPockets can be a great resource, and I know there's tons of information available on the Fort Myers market specifically.

Hey everyone,I'm beginning my direct mail marketing campaign through a third party company as of now.

I know it's not smart to try and "time the market", but what are your general thoughts on syndications / investment clubs in these current market conditions?

How much it rents for is not determined by what you'd need to make it a good investment, it is determined by the market. 

Currently, the market is still short on supply so when putting in offers you need to put on the 'seller' hat and think what they would want.

Since you're planning to buy your first multifamily unit, I suggest looking into markets that have great macroeconomics with growing population and jobs just like Columbus OH.

The NOLA rental market, especially for the more expensive neighborhoods like the one my rental is in, has been slow.
