In general, RE realized the largest appreciation rate post pandemic due to easy money spurring investor demand, and depending on the market, the mass wave of demand entering into the STR market.

I've been interested in investing since about August of last year, and I finally decided on my avenue and my target markets around mid April of this year after getting over some analysis paralysis. 

They are not very popular in my market (Milwaukee) either, but for no obvious reasons.

I have an extensive network of properties and being a licensed realtor myself I have access to things that aren't brought to market How did you finance this deal?

It's an exciting step towards financial independence.To do so, determine your goals, assess your financial situation, and research the market.

These individuals can help you avoid common mistakes in that market and provide the resources you need to succeed. 

Construction lenders will look at the total cost and typically finance 75-80% of the project (right now its more difficult to reach the 80% threshold with market uncertainty).

Of course they are many ways to find deals, but there are favorites that always work.If you are new or need help or are in tough markets like CA, WA or especially Socal or even in AZ or NV this is the way to go.One approach I like is to send post cards.

I’m in the Charlotte NC market.

They structure the class very well and offer lots of tools that help in learning the class material.
