Buyers NEVER default since they are gaining equity so rapidly and these lower end rentals when they are paid for is the place you want to be long term.. its a win win.So start with the PV  investors will look at the values as was stated above.. you may sell for a premium to a buyer but a note buyer is still going to look at what the true cash value of the asset is and does not want to be upside down day one..  

If so try working with a builder developer who doesn't mind traveling to do the leg work to hire a dependable team especially if your goal is to own as many doors and build rapidly.

You're in the right place (BP forums) and doing the right things (posting and interacting with the community) so feel good about that and continue to push yourself to take incremental steps.  

In the MTR space we are seeing it rapidly evolve.

The housing price will increase significantly in 2024 in the Bay Area.The inventory level in San Mateo county and even east Bay Area has dropped to historical low, even though the price has not increased significantly.This dramatic reduction in inventory is a strong precursor signal of rapid price increase.For example, in foster city, the active SFH inventory today is down to 1 from 20-30 range.In Hayward, the active SFH inventory dropped to below 30 from 50-100 range.There is a huge number of buyers waiting to get into the market.

Ohio is a landlord friendly state and the Columbus area is rapidly developing with many big-tech companies either moving into the market or expanding their business here.

You have a rapidly growing population in Colorado, a stagnant/ slowly growing population in Story County, and a rapidly falling population in Flint. 

Need some clarity on this one  Hey Christina, if you want to maximize cash-flow I'd suggest Cleveland, but if you're looking for cash-flow/appreciation in a rapidly growing market I'd recommend Columbus.

The best areas are the most-desirable since the most-desirable are in the most-demand and everyone knows that when things are in demand their prices appreciate rapidly and sell fast.Which (or is is what) property or properties will make the most money.

Sorry for the hard-learned lesson:(Maybe look down south to the Deroit area or Grand Rapids, so you don't have pressure to hire them again!
