It can be done if you have the energy and drive to push forward.

Hello BP Community,My name is Patrick Belanger, and my wife and I (both engineers turned entrepreneurs) havebeen investing in Edmonton and the surrounding communities since 2013, buildinga 32 unit local portfolio of single family homes, duplexes, garage suites, andsmall new-build multifamily (6 and 8 unit properties).

That's why my question was to go ahead all over the USA to see people's suggestions for better locations.The fact that you don't think it's silly to ask a forum to recommend any place in the United States for STR and expect to get answers from people without a funnel to sell you something is silly.Jersey City and surrounding is very good for MTR opportunities because of the proximity to NYC and since you are in residency, you would be MUCH safer focusing on MTR since you have an in to other medical professionals.

Sharing a cozy moment at Rough Draft in Kingston :) We're planning to drive up and check out a few properties on 10/26-10/27.

Does anyone have an idea of the average CAP rate (or a range) for larger apartment buildings in Price George's County or surrounding counties.  

I think there is less compliance issues, with a house the city is always sending you bs letters that you have to comply with. or a pipe bursting or someone falling in the parking. the hoa takes care of all these and takes these risks for you.I get the asteroid thing, just because there are drunk drivers out there you can't sit at home and be afraid to drive, I get all that, but these nasty lawyers will gladly gladly gladly destroy your life over the silliest thing. 

With the growing demand for both urban living in cities like Austin and suburban areas surrounding Dallas and Houston, where do you think the next big wave of homebuyers is heading?

Markets where you can go view properties in a day of driving or flying is a good place to start. 

That said, I’m also open to other investment opportunities (especially those within a reasonable driving distance of Austin).I’d love to connect with anyone who has strong knowledge of the Austin / regional market or experience with similar investment strategies, so feel free to reach out.

From there, we moved to FL and I found several houses by driving around or riding my bike in the neighborhood.3.
