.: Quote from @Alan Asriants: Hey Carlos, all depends on your lot size, what kind of unit you can build there and the rental return you can get. 

My friend has 3 rental properties there alone and when I asked him about buying more he said if he did buy it would be there.

We not only offered them a better comp package, but we offered them the opportunity to work for people who knew real estate investing as investors, not just as lenders. 

There are no municipal-level rental restrictions. 

Investment also spiked in Class A Short-Term Rentals (STR) and investors started paying higher and higher prices based upon anticipated STR rental rates, that exceeded sustainability based upon Long-Term Rental rates (LTR).

Great to see you getting into the Southeast rental market.Wishing you the best of luck.

I know many landlords set a credit score threshold around 580-600 for Section 8 tenants since the program provides a rental guarantee.

I have been sitting on a great rental for 2 years waiting to refinance.

(Unless it was a rental, then you have to pay depreciation recapture as well, usually at 25%.) 

Unless you have the rentals paid for by the time you retire, they aren't going to be enough to live off of.
