Does anybody have any thoughts on Springfield or any good markets for someone who is looking at the $150k range? 

Take into account variables that could affect your cash flow, such as the stability of the market, local tenant demand, and prospective changes in interest rates.

You will quickly learn whether you like it or not, how to market, screen applications, manage renters, coordinate and supervise maintenance, and so much more.

Hey Ash,looking at an 82 unit property in a great market with a lot of value add opportunities.

Had one that we found off-market but things fell through during the inspection (electrical and plumbing issues that we didn't have the capital to pay for and the seller wouldn't budge on). 

Echoing the above:- Know your market: Is it saturated? 

N these markets the ADUs in SZ zoned areas typically are given a value by appraisers far less than the cost to add the ADU.  

I have been reading a lot about Real Estate and I would like to start small with a Downpayment of around $100K.1) I would love to hear what is your experience in Real Estate in these markets?

Tried to get back into the REI game to buy a rental in early 2022, but I was only looking in "A" markets (had a single realtor giving me all the advice), and competition was way too hot, so I hit the pause.

We have a verbal commitment on an off-market property in Ohio and need a purchase agreement drafted.
