When I started focusing more on the surrounding counties 45 minutes outside a metropolitan city, my return on investment increased tremendously.

I always believe you have to surround yourself with the right people but at the same time you need to be educated.

However, I have an entrepreneurial spirit and have a business idea surrounding how the current industry leverages security deposits.

Houses with that value in the rivertowns and surrounding areas may not command so much for rent plus finding those financial able and willing to rent it could be hassle-some. 

Now, HOAs are creating new laws surrounding how many units can a rental property investor own within the same community!

I have also heard that its better to have black or white appliances for long term rentals as they don’t show dents as much as stainless steel does, but the stainless-steel look is the look that surrounding rentals are going for.

The single-family and multi-family homes are at a lower price point than most other neighborhoods in the city while still being a safe and nice place to live.Pleasant Ridge and surrounding zip codesHighly desirable area to live in for all age groups with plenty of bars/restaurants nearby.

There are more surrounding Orlando, but all those I mentioned have appreciated very well over the past few years. 

Other areas I also like in the surrounding areas for investments are Kannapolis, Concord, Belmont and Monroe.

Also considering that a lot of Winston and it's surrounding areas are still in need of, or currently going through development.
