Cheap projects, decent appreciation. 

We are well visited for our 3 tier 1 universities, the research triangle park, travelling educators and nurses, and students.

Properties like this interest me because of their cheap price and fairly high rents.

As you can appreciate with your background your audience creates your experience as an investor.PS I am in camp SF, because I wanted the least amount of effort while I am traveling, which used to be for my corporate job, It's for pleasure and we take 6 trips every year with little to no issues

@Jonathan Greene I’m traveling for work this week, but I’d like to get looped in on this. 

You'd be shocked at how cheap it is to get a container halfway around the world. 

Have a few people who may consider it but it would have draws on funds to complete - it would not be cheap at all as there is not a great spread

This info will lead to several options being removed from possibility.The best software options are designed for PM companies and can cost a decent amount monthly.Here's some cheap options:Doorloop, Hemlane, Innago, RentRedi, Stessa, Avail, Apartments.com, TenantCloud, TurboTenant, Buildium

People search on social media where to travel long before they would on the OTA platforms!

Are there areas you do not want to invest in because of travel time, lack of a network, or other life factors?
