Please let me know if you want to meetup for Coffee and I can give you some pointers for off market properties in Santa Monica or the surrounding areas based on your requirements. 

It opened doors to new markets for agricultural products such as cotton, sugar, and grains, laying the foundation for prosperous farming and trade economies across the newly acquired territories.Investors keen on infrastructure development saw potential in establishing trade routes, settlements, and towns that would eventually grow into thriving cities.

San Antonio is an rich vibrant city full of affordable housing, tourist attractions (Alamo, riverwalk, sixflags, white water and more), military bases (Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, and Randolph Air Force Base) and surrounded by great suburbs (Stone Oak, Alamo Ranch, and the Dominion).San Antonio reclaimed its spot as the nation's fastest-growing city in 2023. 

Outside of that.....There are certain areas in the surrounding counties of greater Nashville that are very much worth looking into.

Depending on the comps, a good use of money is having your bathroom tub/tile surround resurfaced.

So, what are some of the requests I get for the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding areas when it comes to the “Must Haves” for someone’s STR?

Things like accessibility, entertainment, lifestyle, surrounding road/property conditions make the southern part of the island low on my list.

Thankfully we get great rates no matter what because of the circumstances surrounding rates right now. 

However, my next buy will be downtown or in surrounding areas in the city of Charleston as they have historically seen more appreciation, or to think of it differently, the 9% appreciation will result in a bigger increase in my net worth on a 500k property than a 200k property if the rate is the same. 

One last thing, if the land is not developed and does not have the proper infrastructure in place the project will be more costly.
