While most operators chase the Sunbelt states, one overlooked market type is making small- and mid-sized multifamily investors wealthier. It's got near-zero vacancy, with strong employment anchors, and durable cash flow thanks to consistent demand. They're not big cities; instead, they're what today's guest calls "micropolitan" areas—top multifamily markets even the most experienced investors overlook. While making just $35,000 per year, Cory Jacobson made the best move a small investor can make—he bought a house, rented out the rooms, and lived for free. On his second deal, he managed a light renovation, walking away with a six-figure profit—three times his salary. That was it. For Cory, it was time to go all in. Now, he's putting his money into medium-sized multifamily investments (5-30 units) in "untapped" micropolitan markets and sharing his lessons on <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wealth-juice-real-estate-personal-finance-investing/id1506974626"> the Wealth Juice podcast</a>. We talk about the perfect partnerships that have helped him scale at light speed, the day the "worst thing that could have happened" came true, and the actual markets he's currently investing in.
