The midwest seems to be a gold mine at the moment .

We know we treat our friends like gold, but no matter how much we want to convey that, sometimes they are set on their fears and beliefs.

Already renovated/updated real estate doesn't cash-flow but there are plenty of ones that need a little work and can be a gold-mine. 

I won't be moving there, but theres some gold in them hills for sure!

@John DahlMetro Detroit.I feel METRO Detroit is an unknown gold mine because everyone flags all of Michigan as War zone because some greedy people come in thinking they will buy $15,000 Detroit houses and become millionaires then when it doesn’t work label all of Michigan as “bad”The highest probability of success isn’t buying $15,000 houses.

Look at avg home prices or the SP500 priced in gold.Look at this chart:from here: https://www.longtermtrends.net...That is basically an up to date chart of how much gold it takes to buy the average American home.I like to use gold, because it has held it's value better than anything else I can think of over thousands of years.

But your resolution to that is go to buy hard assets that beat inflation; bitcoin, gold.

A good PM is worth their weight in gold so I'd interview and connect with as many as possible in the market you're looking in. 

Pawn shop license, license to buy gold, license to sell cigarettes, license to  sell beer.
