And some (like BREIT, etc.) are among the largest real-estate funds in the world.I personally have issues with BREIT for other reasons (and as an accredited investor I feel there are many, better options). 

Swimming pools are almost a necessity in Class A properties in Phoenix, but what about in Class D properties there?

NIMBY syndrome is perhaps one of the largest challenges any sober house will face. 

It’s a condo/cabin community that is lake front with access to a dock, swimming ect.

AND THEY CAN SCREAM EASY AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS IF THEY WANT.BUT GO AND CONVINCE YOUR NEAREST RELATIVE TO SELL THEIR LARGEST ASSET WITH YOU AT ONLY A 5% MARK UP AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW REAL ESTATE EXCHANGES WORK.

Salaries aren't jumping in Philly, theyre already relatively high so my strategy is how do I get a property that undercuts the surrounding rents,in the mentioned neighborhoods and your neighborhoods, its very hard to do.Househacking is great bc you live in one uni and offset your costs and hopefully in one or two years youre able to raise rents and make a profit.My first househack was MY HOME.and it positioned me well after three years.I think pre 2022, you could have been able to scale one new property per year, but i think now, youre timeline has to extend to 2 years minimum.Other cities provide more financial opportunity, but not in the northeast.You can check out albany ny, harrisburg, scranton, and allentown,But despite all of it's flaws, Philly is indeed a world class city, and one of the nations largest, I think theres more opportunity in the long term than many other markets.I think texas and georgia are other good long term markets, but i think theres too much supply, natural disaster risk and i anticipate in the next year there will be better opportunities.My goal rn is to cop in philly in the next 6months.Save up and cop in Atlanta or houston subrubs in 18 months after that, so a two year timeline.This is using 5-10% conventional loans, i used fha for my first property.Hey — really appreciate you sharing this.

Though most unskilled work will be done by me and some of my coworkers here, my largest expenses (in order, electrical and plumbing) are to be outsourced, and I'm having a hard time trusting someone new with such a sizeable job.Thank you again for your earlier response, it was well-considered and very appreciated!
