You may have to shorten your minimum stay a little, but if someone is getting you a steady stream of renter's it'll be worth it. 

It comes with a built in network of professionals, steady income to cover the basic needs and a structured way to start learning 1 side of the business until you move on to another (e.g. lending, brokerage, etc).

I don't mean geographically, so this may be an oversimplification, but I'm interested in places with steady job and population growth where entry sfh's are in the 150-300 range.

Credit history, funds for a down payment, and a steady work history are the real limiting factors, and that does not apply just to Black people, but anyone who wants to buy a home.We need to focus on financial education.

Don't take my word for it, google "top multifamily markets 2023," and you'll find report after report talking about central Indiana's strong fundamentals.The gist is this: high population growth due to low cost of living and strong business environment is bringing in a steady stream of renters.

It is definitely the slowest, but I slow and steady in a difficult market like Las Vegas wins the race.
