(Jumped from 1 to 10 since the following is not done in order just a weighting system that was used as filters:US News' Ranking of Univ > 300Univ Population > 10k (with minor exceptions)Cities Population > 40kMost recent Population change of City > 0% (cash flow mainly like I said, but combined with following could lead to incr apprec)City density (peeps / sq mi) > 1,000Rental Vacancy Rate < 6% (must use PM so high turnover is not super ideal) (yes, I know, base was college area... grrr....)Median property value < $210 K (risk mitigation)Median Rent (used with above for rough cash flow ranking)Cash Flow Indicator ( 1 - Rental Vacancy Rate) * Median Rent / Median Propert Value > (Iteratively throw away cities on bottom 50% of list.)Tax / Legal Friendliness of StateThen take the top 7 from above and review the micro investing climate (actual cash flow, Cash on Cash, etc) of turn keys.

It does, however, offer lots of inexpensive, cash flowing properties.To iterate, I'm a small time rel estate investor, so you definitely want to consult an RE professional before taking this advice to heart lol. 

What do you know most about RE, farms, motels, cafes, homes, storage buildings...... play on what you know best and branch out.Being the small investor has advantages, you are quicker to meet people, quicker to spot a deal, you don't have to follow structured steps and jump through hoops like corporates do, you can be agile in the market, move to any strategy on a property that solves the problem at hand.

Seeing it written it in simpler terms makes this feel much less overwhelming, and I feel that I can now better iterate what I'm trying to do. 

Through various iterations over time, IRC § 1014 now provides basis adjustment at death (sometimes also known as a step-up in basis) and can be very effective at reducing capital gain taxes after the death of the property owner.

These are integrations - value you can access with your BP account, and which will or already do talk with the BiggerPockets platform and future iterations of your dashboard here on BiggerPockets.  

I hope to learn more about it.

Jamie Gruber, who was the guest on episode 436 of the BP Real Estate podcast, started the Emerge and Ascend program and has done a few iterations since launching in NOV of 2020, I believe.

That point has been iterated by many people across various sources.

It's burned some companies example: iBuyers is the most recent iteration.
