And it works in any real estate market depending on your needs.  

I am leaning towards demolishing the house and building a simple 3/2 but I have no market data in the city for new builds in recent years.

I’ve interviewed a couple of Realtors in Oklahoma City, but I’ve been finding that the general consensus there is that the market is not in a cash flow cycle.

Indianapolis is a great market to get started in with affordable pricing.

If you cannot find what you’re looking for in your market and you don’t want to invest too far, consider pivoting to a single family home.

I bought it at a good enough price I knew I could simply turn around and put it back on the market and make a little profit How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Gastonia is actually the primary market I work in with all of my investors and with the revitalization plans for the city I am quite bullish on the Gastonia market.

Unlike the stock market, you can also use leverage, which could significantly increase your ROI.The bottom line is that you can get better returns investing in alternatives (real estate or otherwise) and more control investing in real estate (you have zero control over the stock market).

From asking around the community, it is difficult to find cash flow under the current market conditions.

The financing contingency period is up tomorrow and it looks like they are going to back out, so I guess we will put the property back on the market as a cash-only purchase and see what happens.
