Is it high appreciation area with a low rate mortgage?

I focus heavily on the sell side and on the buy side only work with high net worth individuals so the newbie wanting a 400k multifamily with an FHA loan probably isn't for me. 

I have a great planning tool that could help you with planning your acquisition strategy for the next 10 years you might find helpful.  

We’ve booked yurts in Colorado (hike in only at high altitude, bring all your own stuff), remote cabins in Northern MN, etc.

@Tayvion Payton here's some useful info:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Both strategies are great and have their pros and consOne of the biggest wealth building tools in real estate is the ability to purchase a property as a primary residence and put less then 20% down.

.- High risk - Time-intensive - Requires substantial capitalBRRRR:Pros.- Builds long-term wealth - Generates rental income - Increases equityCons.- Complex process - Requires financing - Dependent on market conditionsAirbnb:Pros.- Potential for higher returns - Flexible pricing - Short-term commitmentCons.- Requires active management - Subject to regulatory risks - Income can vary seasonallyI wish you the best in your new venture.

I also highly recommend being represented as a buyer. 

Here are a few high level thoughts for you as a beginner:-Don't lend in second position-Don't do deals with new investors-Don't experiment with new strategies, even with experiences investors- ie, don't jump in to a first development project with someone just because they've flipped 20 houses. 

Even though interest rates are high, we have a big Mircron plant coming here as part of the CHIPS act so that could boost housing demand in the coming years.I don't know the SYR market, but I did a quick search for duplexes somewhat outside of the city, and found this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7300-Lakes....
