I would always lean towards markets that are landlord-friendly. 

Houston is a great market for JVs, wishing you both success! 

In Cleveland you can find below market rental ready duplexes that require minor repairs (keep in mind that discounted properties come with their own challenges).

I’m based out of Lehi, Utah, and have always been fascinated by the potential of real estate to create opportunities and build wealth.After spending time learning about the industry and what it takes to succeed, I’m ready to dive in and start making deals happen!

What's your criteria for the market you're interested in? 

I avoid the multi-family market here, so unfortunately, I will not be a good go-to here, but I am confident you will find quality resources and help here on BP.  

If looking to change the market value of property, well there you go. 

Are you looking for guide and advise of an expert on the market or a pass through agen?

Todays market vs a different market will also impact your buy box. 

Prior to viewing with clients, I am usually have an idea of the general area, vacany rates, market rents, and property types that suitable for LTR.
