I know this is a common question but wanted to hear specifically from investors or realtors that are seeing MLS cash flow for 2-4 unit properties. I've only invested in STRs and was looking to get into small multi-family but haven't seen anything that made sense in any of the markets I invest in so was curious where people were seeing good opportunities.

Hi Everyone,

I'm relatively new to long-distance investing and am exploring the purchase of multifamily properties in Cleveland. My primary focus is on the BRRR method, with a greater emphasis on appreciation over cash flow.

For those with experience investing in Cleveland, I’d greatly appreciate any insights on neighborhoods worth focusing on. My budget is in the $200-250K range.

Please feel free to let me know if additional details would help, and thank you in advance for your time and advice!

Hello,

I will be closing on my first investment property in a few weeks in Buffalo NY and looking to acquire more in 2025 in different states (ohio, PA, Michigan), being a Florida resident, which state should I create my LLC in? Should it be a parent LLC to other LLCs for each properties? Thank you for your help!

My husband and I recently bought our first rental home (in Fayetteville, AR) but have had very little interest in the 2 weeks it's been on the market so far. I'm wondering if it is priced too high or if our property manager is not marketing it aggressively enough? We found out our property manager only lists on Zillow so we are marketing it ourselves on other rental platforms to hopefully increase visibility. We have lowered the price as well but are wondering if there is something else we are missing or if it's just slow because of the time of year? We're really wanting to get someone in before the holidays but are not sure what else we could/should be doing.

Thanks!

I’m looking for someone to help ease my thoughts… California Bay Area

I have everything ready to go for my first flip… financing, financial spreadsheets, acquisition and disposition playbook, design criteria, etc. I have title and appraisal experience, so comps, etc don’t worry me  

The one thing that is giving me heartburn is estimating rehab costs… good deals move quickly. I have no time to schedule a contractor to walk through and provide a comprehensive bid. I see investors selling for $100k-$125k above purchase with full kitchen, baths, flooring, paint, etc rehabs. I’m presuming profiting as well. I don’t see how those numbers make sense…

I’m considering paying some contractors to walk an on market house with me (that I don’t intend on buying as the numbers would never work) just to get an idea of their costs. I can then take those figures and estimate for future deals based on size, room and bathroom count, etc. 

Is this the best play here? I’m anxious to jump in and start making deals, but these rehab costs can make or break a deal. I’m fully prepared that there may be unforeseen costs, but I can’t even estimate properly for your standard cosmetic rehab… 

Hi everyone! 

Just started working my first W-2 job out of college and looking to start investing ASAP. I've got some family connections to the Cleveland and Columbus area and am wondering if anyone knows if these are good markets to start off in? I'm looking to start off in areas with lower costs coming in, preferably under $100k single families but definitely under $200k.
