(we are past inspection & appraisal - just waiting on loan to close)- There wont be any photos of updated carpet, kitchen cabinets and countertops- I can't show the property in person considering I dont have the keys to proeprty yet- Would be gathering leads for people of who are intersted in hopes of getting it rented out faster If I post the property now, I could probably have a tenant lined up to move in August 1st.

@Dave Ivery New people can and should buy RE but the ROI is less.

I know some STR investor people from Cincinnatti who are investing into the Red River Gorge (Slade, rogers, campton) area.

I am not sure if it's just a general trend of people going offline en masse, or a sign of waning interest in wholesale discussion since a lot of bad rep is associated with it.

I didn't make much money, but the most valuable aspect of the experience for me was learning how to find crafts people, acting as my own general contractor, and then learning what order in which to do repairs and improvements.

So many people never move past analysis!

If the rents have rebounded or are way above the last major downturn then whatever you are experiencing is most likely a short term blip and you should "buy right" and ride the wave back up. 

The reality is people are making money in virtually every market.

You could also instead: get a construction loan and buy a fixer home with no ADU and you build it yourself. usually - I see people buying a home like this for $650k to $700k and then adding the ADU for $100k where you end at $750k to $800k with a well renovated home! 

Hey Ryan,Dayton, TN, is experiencing growth and increasing demand for rental properties, which could make it a good investment for a multifamily property with 2 bed, 1 bath units.
