All the markets you mentioned are solid choices for affordability and long-term growth potential.If you’re looking to narrow it down, consider Indianapolis or Columbia, SC, as both have strong rental demand, landlord-friendly laws, and stable economies.

What are your returns like, is it a strong STR market?

I would want to see if you could partner up with someone and split the profits 50/50, 60/40, or 80/20..

@Rachel Seymour-NewtonIf the smaller property is a strong deal with solid cash flow and tenant demand, it could make sense to buy now and start gaining experience.

If it has significant upside value, you should consider flipping that yourself or find a partner who knows what they are doing to flip it and split the profit.

The winds were so strong and fire so hot there were cars turned upside down in driveways, and then melted.The bottom line is that 100 mph winds combined with dry grass and just about any ignition source is unstoppable once it gets going. 

Grow steady and have a strong foundation.
