I guess that means, there is healthy demand for rents in the metroplex.I am curious if there is a city or few Zip codes within Tulsa, Broken arrow, Bixby, Jenks and Owasso, that is preferred by prospective tenants ? 

When I do it I prefer informing them what current market rents are and then just give my new rate.

Ofcourse I cannot assure a sterile environment. 

I would recommend focusing on markets/sub markets that will provide a more consistent return so take your time and be careful in the areas you're investing in.Personally I prefer the middle/southern part of the country because the price points are much lower and the laws are landlord friendly.

Document these sales to support your valuation, or get a professional appraisal for extra assurance.

Hourly consultation is preferred, and the ability to eventually draw up the docs.

The most recent job fair featured over 20,000 open positions.In ConclusionWhile nothing is guaranteed, the combination of population growth and limited land for expansion virtually assures that prices and rents will continue to increase.Thanks for reading my post.

It’d be great to know a little more about your market preferences and non-negotiables, since Alabama’s pretty diverse in terms of what it can offer.For example, the Huntsville area is a much higher-growth market than Birmingham, and the median home in each area is priced accordingly to reflect that difference.Even individual markets can vary widely by zip code—properties in a Birmingham suburb like Forestdale are going to fetch dramatically different rents than homes in a neighborhood like Mountain Brook or Vestavia Hills.In any case, let us know what your buying criteria look like, and we can give more pointed recommendations.

@Pradeep RoyI'd prefer LVP, but that certainly wouldn't be an issue for me if my overall numbers/returns on the deal met my criteria.

I personally like to have a mix of STR and LTR so that my portfolio is well diversified but my preference is LTR as I tend to focus more on appreciation than cash flow.
