Recent events have pressed more of a NEED than a WANT- looking to get my brother-in-law into a flip or BRRRR-type property for a few reasons: 1) Get a young single father an alternative living arrangement to current situation 2) Allow him to pay down debt 3) Get him interested in real estate investing for lifelong financial benefit.

Leaning towards single and small multi's to begin and get me started.

I have been trying to narrow down, which cities are the best options, looking at demographic trends, unemployment rates, GDP growth, household incomes etc. and narrowed it down to a list below.

So far I just have my single family home.

My guess would be because single family attached housing is more common there than in the USA. 

Now, take Brandon's advice from the podcast and take one actionable step every single day. 

@Aaron R.USDA guaranteed and direct loan programs are for single family properties only (including houses, approved condos, new mobile homes, townhouses). 

Looking into emerging cities and wondering if you could advise on how to utilize the median income and average household income for cities that are unfamiliar.

My current strategy is similar to many, targeting long term rentals for single family houses and 2-4 plexes, acquiring with the BRRR method when possible.

Has anyone had to deal with rezoning a property from single family to multi family?
