I found a company that has construction, management and brokerage under 1 roof and operates in Indy, Charlotte and Kansas City..These markets have population >1 Million with consistent growth; Good jobs and low unemployment, inexpensive houses in working class neighborhoods that create returns of at least the 1% rule and are cities with excellent credit ratings allowing them to invest back into the city.My first purchases 5 years ago included visiting the company and interviewing the employees for the systems they use, inspecting the houses and then reviewing the monthly reports once the purchases were made.
