The best market is likely a "Good" cash flow market that you have some ties to, in some way shape or form, or one that is a reasonable drive from where you live, if practical/possible. 

I used to live in Tokyo for 6 years and would like to find a reason to go back more regularly but let me know if you want to connect!

I too live in Asheville, so Sapphire was closer than Cashiers and Highlands.

@Benjamin Goodman gives a good example referencing live in flips. 

Those that own it can be harder to sell as the cash flow from the business will cover the debt service for the business, but not for the real estate.Example: I had a very high-end assisted living facility on the market. 

I realize people are trying to make a living, but anyone who cold calls me is the last person I'd use for any transaction (plus I have people for that!).  

And this is coming from someone who sponsors private deals for a living!

. - My wife and I are 33 living in SF with $250k in cash & $250k in other equities. - $6k/ month is our freedom number from a W2- Buy & Hold MFH is our plan (turnkey with PM in place)- This quad was built in 2024 and we're able to secure a 3.75% 10 year rateHow's this deal looking or would it make more sense to go another route?

Where are you living at this point?

Homes are affordable and we're seeing homebuyers enter the market with a lot of assistance available from the city.I’ve been investing in Detroit since 2019 while living in California and own 12 doors.
