if something is just sitting on the MLS looking too good to be true... then it's too good to be true.these properties are going to have higher costs overall, be in more challenging neighborhoods, have very gnarly deferred maintenance and capex, potentially have liens, be high turnover, and require expert, highly knowledgeable, localized support to be successful. see for example this thread.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...and even at those price points, i think cash flow is fairly low to non-existent if rehabbed to a high grade, especially with DSCR debt. 

So good timing asking this question.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/70/topics/1214370-alaba...

Just review the topics and you can find ones that will match up with areas of investing you are interested in. 

The all-in podcast this past week just had a great discussion on this topic

An article was cited in the discussion mentioning a link in the Akron Business Journal.

And being from Phila, there are plenty of solid and reasonably affordable areas to invest in. if you're open to it, feel free to reach out and we can talk more about this topic and the local market. 

That said, since I'm not actively involved in it myself, I may not be the most credible voice on the topic.

I'm not looking to compromise on the analysis; rather I just am still seeing "2024" articles coming up about the 1% rule being a good rule of thumb and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious.

Each offers a economicupdate, market update, mortgage update, and have a guest speaker each monthcovering a special topic.

You are definitely lightyears ahead of me on this topic.
