Hi @Shatrice Cherry, I'm based in Southern California, but I have started my out-of-state real estate journey in Indianapolis.

Our goal is to start buying MF within the next year to two years.

Initially we had intended on starting our real estate journey through multi-family house hacking, but this opportunity popped up first and it was hard to ignore.

I’m currently in Nigeria Africa, and seriously thinking about moving to the States to start a career as a real estate entrepreneur. 

There has been a slight uptick in the homeless population since the pandemic started, but they are usually pretty harmless. 

I decided to post my thoughts in the “Starting Out” category hoping to get your attention knowing there are service providers waiting in the wings ready to take advantage of your unfounded beliefs and further upsell you through scare tactics.

That's why a lot of new wholesalers struggle when they first start.

Ithaca is like another planet.STRENGTHS-  appreciation is pretty much guaranteed, no matter how crummy your property is-  student housing isn't restricted, they'll live anywhere-  having an ivy league school means there's a lot of money flying around-  rent is high-  tons of development and growth going on-   strong STR performance outside the city properWEAKNESSES-  almost absurdly high prices-  similarly absurdly low cap rates-  pesky annual inspections required on multifamily properties-  most deals happen behind closed doors, and agents tend to be very unhelpful-  5-7% cap rates typical, sometimes lowerSummary: Ithaca is a great market to park your money in and wait.
