Str Market Cities: 200k-400k
Having a bit of analysis paralysis finding an str market with purchase price range of 200k-400k. I was going to do a 1031 and get into the Smoky Mountain area but ultimately decided not to since I have a 1099 job and enjoy the steady cashflow from my current long term rentals.
So I’m pivoting to a lower purchase price and struggling to find a good market - Blue Ridge, GA seems interesting but I’ve heard mixed reviews. Any suggestions of other markets worth analyzing?

Hocking Hills in Ohio is a great place to invest in the $200-400k range. Steady growth, affordable properties, limited seasonality. I have a few STR's there and was able to quit my 9-5 after only 2. Message me if you have any interest.
