What markets have been stable for multi-family w/consistent strong rents?

@Lolo DruffWhen investing in properties, I aim to balance high cash flow with appreciation potential in affordable, stable markets with strong rental demand.

If you had managed to purchase in those areas back then, your cash-on-cash return might look quite different today, especially with rental demand still holding strong.

Morris is still peddling strong.

If that's the case I would strongly suggest building your team before pulling the trigger on an Airbnb.

Consider if refinancing after increasing rents could work, and whether MTR/STR demand is strong enough to sustain long-term profitability.Keep as LTR with Minimal Cash Flow: While this avoids a cash outlay, being cash flow negative or barely breaking even isn’t sustainable long-term.

However, like any market, success depends on selecting the right neighborhoods and building a solid team on the ground.In Indianapolis, areas like Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, and Irvington have seen strong appreciation and rental demand, but they can be more competitive.

I came back to Ohio and started working for a construction company, and have been there since. (2017) Currently I manage an asphalt plant for them in Columbus.I haven't done a ton of real estate investing, but have a strong understanding of construction, and project management. 

I strongly recommend you suck up that $180 yourself and fix the underlying problem.

For LTRs, prioritize markets with population growth and strong job markets.Wherever you choose, work with an investor-friendly agent who knows the local market and can help you analyze deals.
