Nicholas Scheld First Deal in 3 to 6 Months – How Do You Narrow Down Your Top 5 Markets?
1 March 2026 | 6 replies
Hey BP Community,I’ve been giving this a lot of thought and I’m committed to getting my first deal done in the next 3 to 6 months.I considered joining a paid group or mentorship to speed up the process, but for now I want to stay lean, avoid membership fees, and prove to myself that I can build the foundation through research and relationships.The Northeast feels extremely competitive and may not produce the cash flow I’m targeting, so I’m widening my search geographically.To stay disciplined, I’m setting weekly goals so I can keep moving the ball forward a few yards at a time.Goal by March 8th:Identify 5 markets I’d seriously consider investing in.They don’t have to be near me, but proximity would be a bonus.So far, my early research has pointed me toward:Pittsburgh / Harrisburg, PAIndianapolis, INMemphis, TNRaleigh, NCA few other Midwest and Southeast marketsI’m still in the early stages and plan to dedicate solid time this week to narrowing this down based on:Median home priceAverage rentRent-to-price ratioLandlord friendlinessPopulation and job growthFor those of you who’ve done this before:What framework or method do you use to evaluate and narrow down markets?
