Hello everyone,I’m currently exploring opportunities in new construction projects in North and South Carolina and would greatly appreciate any insights or resources you might be able to share.Specifically, I’m interested in:Key areas with high demand for new constructionBest practices for navigating local regulations and permitting processesRecommendations for reliable contractors and suppliers in the regionAny recent market trends or data that could inform my investment strategyThank you in advance for your assistance.

There are multiple factors that go into determining rents and if there is limited data the rents will be off. 

Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one of them should stand out for you.

Data over the last century shoes REITs have a correlation to stock market returns. 

We always tested people out on small projects first such as doing a gut of a bathroom, 2 day repair jobs, etc. 

If the owner lives in town, you could even go knock on their door, I find this to be extremely successful when you are going after foreclosed properties.As to your 1st post, you might want to look at city data for growing markets, It looks like Rochester lost population last year, vs if you look at sunbelt cities like, Houston, DFW, Austin, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, these cities saw at a minimum 1% population increase.

Consider different selling options (traditional sale, rental, or auction) based on market conditions.Tools that may help: QuickBooks for budgeting and expense tracking.Zillow or Redfin for real-time market data Asana or Trello to track the progress 

I'm trying to find something from them or anyone showing occupancy rates historically as I love seeing some of that data - as both a builder of str cabins in eastern tennessee and someone holding str cabins in eastern tennessee. :-) Any chance you have a link or two to the report? 

Any insights on economic development, population movement and jobs diversity for Mobile, AL will be much appreciated.I have already used city-data for these markets, but the information is dated.

@Daniel Windingstad,I believe @Taz Zettergren mentioned Alabama, and I wanted to chime in since I’m active in multiple markets across the state.I’ll talk specifically about (property) taxes since this data can be easily compared.
