While we may already be in, (or close to) a technical recession, as of this post we still have a very strong job market in most sectors right now. 

It's private sector, they are moving for pleasure and business2. 

A lot of people are doing well in this sector here in Toledo and I'd like to hear what other investors are seeing in other markets and if this is a route to pursue.Best,Stephen Brown

Don't give up, you're in a great area that has seen high growth, almost zero vacancies, and is supported with diverse employment sectors and NJ and NYC transplants

If the latter, then I would find another sector to invest in because it's only a matter of time before every market is "discovered" and you'll be faced with this decision within a year or two's time.

This saves me from being bothered by calls and I can review VM at leisure.

The year that the primary tenants will be in the property will likely provide more than sufficient time for the vacation sector to recover in this area, so that should be a very smooth transition back into that strategyOne thing to note is that whether you're looking at doing a condo or a single family, it's unlikely that either of these will even come close to cash flowing as LTR's, so STR is really your only option for either of these.

The best thing you can do is pick your markets well - good schools, local amenities, and job sectors.

Assuming you are investing relatively nearby to the town on your BP profile, long term real estate appreciation will probably be quite heavily tied to the long term health of Houston's energy sector.

Notwithstanding all these delicate elements that make Miami a profoundly alluring real estate market, its nearness to Latin America has made the city a particularly blasting business sector for international investors.
