While engaging with the Bigger Pockets community, I've noticed many investors seeking funding.

Some post here on the Bigger Pockets Marketplace.

Quote from @Marise Sfeir: Hi i am interested in Dubai Market for investing and Airbnb, does Bigger pocket cover Dubai Market will i benefit from your tools and offerings or not?

Cleveland, Ohio is a great market to focus on for cash flow and specific pockets have gone up 2x and upwards of 4x in the last 5-10 years even!

(If curious, my residential real estate investor clients from 10 years ago [you can find my 10 year old bigger pockets dot com posts :], at the time buying up 2-4 unit properties, a lot of them are now done with the 'human' tenants and want to 1031 into something that is ACTUALLY passive, so yes Starbucks comes up, thus I watch it).In my case I zoomed all the way into a specific brand (which then allows me to make very sweeping generalizations across an entire state -- but still not the entire country), I'm not suggesting you do that, but SOME of the variables need to be narrowed down, before you can gain any useful insights. 

BP does not recommend investmentsPS: I recommend searching BP to see if anything as well as head over to passive pockets to see if any discussions there as well.
