It's very trendy and sexy to get into this right now but there's alot of newbies and competition out there.

It is not as sexy and it takes time.

But, this particular section is not public-facing (access only off a back street), has no windows (cinderblocked up years ago) and is far from sexy...it's just space.One of my ideas is to fit it for self-storage units.

Though out my younger teen years real estate investing was always something I was interested in and I have done quite a bit of research on the topic, but am nowhere near being well versed in all there is to know.

If it’s too good to be true, it 100% is. 100% agreed.Bought my first ever US property in Rochester, NY while I was still living in Australia.Lost m A$$ because I trusted the wrong people and didn't have the right team on the ground.Been plugging away in Toledo since 2014 and the people factor has been and IMO always will be an issue in tertiary markets like a Toledo.Online stats and demographics are always sexy, so many janky operators use these online figures to scam investors out of $$$.The great deals with great numbers can always be found, but finding great people on the ground is key to anyone's success and should be by far the #1 focus (Even before a specific market is considered).Much success 🙏

It's not sexy, it's not marketable, but it's the real stuff of it. 

Myself and my investors see ROI's in the mid-teens every year!

I would say that Philalephia is general is not a "sexy MF market" like you hear about in the SunBelt or South and I think there is less inventory in general.

I got sexy with real estate, once.

A U.S. bond pays out around 4% risk free right now, so certainly more than that and after adjusting for risk/time I’d say at least high single digit coc returns on a safer assert and mid teens coc on a riskier asset.
