I am thinking of moving into a different market as it has been pretty stagnant for me especially due to high interest rates not making the numbers make sense in this market in my opinion.

If you are priced high, then you are more likely going to get less than desirable applicants because in exchange for high rents, you are taking on more risks.This is Los Angeles.

I'd probably need a mentor too.The second alternative you stated is indeed less intensive than a BRRRR given I have a full-time job that is highly travel-intensive.

So that means that the payments will be pretty high every month, however what are your thoughts on this?

A smaller footprint less maintenance and repair costs with high rent and low vacancy is a great formula for success.
