I generated the list by combining Zillow's smooth, seasonally adjusted home value dataset (ZHVI) with their rent index (ZORI) for metro areas.

As someone who used to work in SEO, I can see that the structure, length, and comparison format are classic SEO techniques.

We use a combination of HML and our private investor network.

How we purchased our property: Combination of Savings, Personal Loan with interest from a family member (4% interest) and a cash loan from Wells at about 8%.

We both work in finance, so we’re pretty comfortable running the numbers.Our combined W2 income is ~$350K, and I work remotely with a very flexible schedule.We’ve saved over $200K across various assets (stocks, crypto, cash), and we live frugally, saving around $100K a year after taxes.

Currently, I am looking at Hemlame for local, I tried to use them for an out-of-state investment property, but the cost with an agent would end up far greater than a full-service property manager.The dream option would combine all accounting, bill pay, rent collection, provide eviction services, and maintenance coordination outside of normal hours.

Do you happen to have long term % of gross rent of combined maintenance/repairs/turnover costs/CapEx  ?   

We financed the purchase using a combination of cash and a hard money loan.

This is the “over night” success that’s taken 20 years.2 - Superior uncommon knowledge, combined with experience and capital and a willingness to take a risk (speculate).  

My initial goal was to earn $100,000 per year, and with our combined efforts, we now make approximately $16,000 per month.
