Albany, Syracuse, Utica, OH, PA, etc.) for cashflow.The challenge in these markets is that demand is through the roof, and many properties either sell at the asking price or above the asking price (Suffolk's sale price average was 1.5% ABOVE the asking price).If I were in your shoes, I'd explore local and remote multi-family options before considering the mid-term rental route.All the best!

I really like Lease to own option to get into deals without having to take on massive debt.

If you're considering purchasing under a business name, consult a CPA or attorney for setup and financing options.

Several of the contractors offer helical piers but don’t seem to think they’d be a more cost effective option - we can directly ask about this again.  

Going to try out PayRange, the Shine Pay is slightly more expensive and the one quote about the 20 units appears to be from shinepay as it is the only qoute they ever made... not sure which is better but both look like good options

The midwest has great options - Indiana, Michigan and Ohio has lots of great sub markets with good cash flow. 

I was their best option.

It sounds like you are in a nice spot where you have options moving forward with investing, (congrats).

Your options are greater ahead of the transaction as opposed to when the transaction has already been entered into.Best of luck to you!

While I’ve considered cash-out refinancing or HELOCs, the high rates make these options less appealing.I’m debating between using cash to acquire more SFRs or diversifying into mixed-use retail properties.
