Full appraisals post pandemic are few weeks out so desk appraisals are your best bet right now.

Your best bet is to find one agent who is a good fit for you, and work with that person exclusively.

I think your best bet for buying foreclosures with a loan is actually buying PRE-foreclosures (Before the auction date).

If you want immediate cash flow CA is not the best bet.

Augustine have less restrictions so it makes for a good choice.

Have others bet on cities like Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, etc given the relatively low climate threats in these areas?

So my main question would be if you had a choice assuming the price per unit was the same, would you buy a 4 Plex or 4 single family homes?

@Troy Scottaline a safe bet is you can get somewhere from 6-8% cash on cash return after all expenses are paid on your investments.So if you want to live on over $100,000K per year and do nothing but manage rentals or manage a property manager you will need well over $1,000,000 to invest.

When you are trying to incentivize action, you need to give choices or have consequences.

Find a faith community that welcomes you - and I'd bet that all will.
