The city is still affordable compared to many Florida metros, which helps maintain rental interest.Neighborhoods to watch: Consider areas like Riverside, Springfield, East Arlington, Beach Haven, Mandarin (for higher-end plays), or Mid-Westside if you’re leaning toward affordability and yield.How to Think About Your Strategy FitStrategyIdeal If...Key ConsiderationsCash-Out RefiYour primary home has substantial equity and you want passive scalingUseful for redeploying capital with less hassle, but depends on mortgage terms and equity levelsBRRRYou prefer active investing—finding deals, rehabbing, and building sweat equityRequires capital, reliable contractors, and strong underwriting to ensure refinance worksHybridConsider starting with a cash-out to fund your first BRRR dealCombines yield potential with equity leverage—but involves both operational and financial commitmentI hope this helps, I'll send you a DM. 

Since California’s tight, pick one Texas metro and lock a simple buy box: property type, price range, target rent, year built, and return floor.

What @Moe Sidd is referring to is that Detroit is NOT a place to invest without either doing a LOT of research or hiring the right team.A lot of scammers will sell you a piece of crap Detroit property that will NEVER meet your expectations, much less the paper numbers these scammers promote.BTW: do NOT confuse the City of Detroit with the suburbs, or Metro Detroit!

@Henry Dominguez about a third of our clients, here in Metro Detroit, are from outside the USA.So, we've got resources for:1) Setting up an LLC2) Getting an ITIN and EIN3) Setting up a USA bank account (getting more difficult as several major banks no longer provide)4) Referrals to tax professionals to handle annual federal & state tax returns.Getting a mortgage can be challenging for foreigners.

For those actively investing in the Denver Metro Area, what has been your biggest obstacle lately?

Even more telling: in high-cost metro areas (New York, L.A., San Francisco, Miami, San Jose, etc.), not even a 0% mortgage rate would make the median-priced home affordable for the median-income household, once you factor in taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other costs.

The sponsor will sell a tranche of the loan - say $900k to an investor at 9% (some will call this a hypothecation or a partial, or  a participation agreement, - which it is not a participation because it is not Pari-passu).the sponsor will then take a junior position on the loan (but technically still a first just the b piece).

Normandy and Paris both carry so much history and heart; approaching those markets with the purpose of adding value where your family hasn’t yet is a beautiful way to diversify and honor your roots.Keep building at your own pace, with clarity and compassion.

I personally use 25% when estimating the value but you don’t know for sure until you do the study but I find they are rarely less than 20% and rarely more than 30% on small multi props in the Kansas City metro where land is rarely more than 10% of the value of a property. 

You can quickly find an anchor point to gauge in any metro area: look up the median price.
