@Mann Singh that’s exactly the way I started out, and while Memphis and Little Rock are terrific, you can get great returns in Alabama with newer construction homes and low taxes. Happy to talk about my experience there.

@Nathan Johnson that’s great. Vancouver Washington is beautiful. I’ve noticed that new construction four Plexes tend to be in a bit nicer neighborhoods than older four Plexes. The older four plex was were in areas with lots of four plexes, whereas the new ones I see are more interspersed with single-family homes. That may depend on the community in the market, but it’s something I’ve seen in several cities.

@Isabella Barness I’ve been investing in new construction near Huntsville and happy to connect.

@Violeta Archer it’s a wonderful market. It cash flows with high quality renters and great landlord friendly laws. Happy to talk if you want to do where the best parts to invest are.

Are others persuaded by the argument, made by @Jason Hartman and others, that the pandemic will accelerate the trend of people moving away from high-density living in the biggest cities and into more single-family homes in the middle of the country where prices are cheaper and the risk of a virus spreading is lower? If so, does that mean multifamily housing is less attractive than single-family homes? It seems to me to be the case and suggests picking up single-family homes in the Midwest and South. Others? 

@Darius White Really great question. I hope so. 100k properties is where I got my start, and your plan sounds very good. It reminded me of the 5 and 10 year plans @Jason Hartman teaches on his podcast. It's an excellent resource for guidance and inspiration. 

I started with turnkey a little over a year ago, and it's been wonderful. It gave me both an education and an inspiration for more investing. The best thing about it is that you get properties that make sense from the day you but them. To this end, the best learning I found on turnkey was from @Jason Hartman and his podcast. 

I have found that the best and most reputable turnkey companies will work with you if an appraisal comes in under the sales price. If they don’t, or they try to persuade you that the appraisal is way off base, then you need to ask yourself if you’re working with the right company.
