Purchase price: $85,000 Cash invested: $60,000 My initial strategy for this deal was to flip it and sell it, but the market was unfavorable so I opted for the BRRRR strtategy instead.

Just do thorough research on the local market and have a solid plan for managing the properties remotely.Good luck!

In fact, just finished one that I have yet to put on the market. 

But I'm starting to wonder if and when some appreciation resumes, and if and when market will dictate rent increases.Appreciate any opinions - thanks

Purchase price: $175,000 Cash invested: $35,000Buyout property that needed significant upgrades to bring to rental market in 2022.

Way to many investors were buying properties for more then they were worth with hopes of collecting MUCH MORE than market rent.

I avoid the multi-family market here, so unfortunately, I will not be a good go-to here, but I am confident you will find quality resources and help here on BP.  

All channels can work, but in my experience, the greatest oppportunities often pop up when you know exactly what your returns need to look like and keep your ear to the ground in your market.

I.E. you know the area better than others.Is there a short-term rental market where you vacation at, where you went to college or where you grew up in?

If you are buying a home to live in - I would suggest finding a good realtor in your market.
