 Thanks Mitch.  I am looking into markets that have a military base near by.  Any active duty base is preferable.

Hi there,

Welcome to the world of real estate investing! Multifamily properties and long-term rentals are fantastic strategies for building steady cash flow and long-term wealth. As a new investor, focusing on these can give you a solid foundation to grow your portfolio.

I’m primarily focused on the Indianapolis market, where we specialize in new build duplexes that offer strong returns and stable rental income. If you’re considering different markets or want to explore multifamily opportunities, I’d be happy to share insights and help you navigate the process.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect and discuss strategies, markets, or anything else related to multifamily investing. Looking forward to seeing your success!

We used to have a similar philosophy ... and then we went to live in Clovis, New Mexico for a few years! 😂

Plenty of lovely folks there, plus it's where Cannon Air Force Base is located, but we soon discovered that just having a base nearby didn't necessarily make for a lively real estate market.

Shortly after that, we adopted our MUCHAS criteria:

M - Near a military base

U - Has at least one college or university

C - Has a Costco or equivalent

H - Has a hospital ranked at least as a Level II Trauma Center

A - Has a commercial airport

S - Has a Sprouts (organic grocery) or equivalent

This has led us to look at often-overlooked markets like Lubbock, Texas and Augusta, Georgia.

May be worth a look for you as well!

Thanks Ryan.  Yes.  I would like to connect with you.   I lived in Terra Haute for a few years so know a little about the area.

Welcome to BP Shane!

I love MFH investing because of the higher cash flows. 

I'm an investor based out of Columbus and would be happy to connect.
