I wasn't really certain of specific desirable spots nor the typical market rents and such for various units.

When it comes to finding properties, AI tools like PropStream and DealMachine automate searches for investment opportunities based on specific criteria. 

@Carlos Ptriawan to add to what you’re saying, if an investor has a mix of properties (great ones and lesser ones) and they are looking to streamline, they could sell the less desirable ones, pay the gain taxes, and use the proceeds to pay down/off the loans on the most desirable properties they want to keep long term.

This in a desirable town further North.

You can't genuinely expect other cities to not try to create the infrastructure, job desirability, living conditions to impede such progress.
