@Huggy Ford, I would be interested in running an analysis of need to know what's in the highest demand for that location.

STR it will cost you big.this isn't a difficult job depending on the fridge location.

Kyle, south of Austin, ranked No. 2 with a 9% increase to 62,548 people, up from its third-spot ranking last year, while Leander, northwest of Austin, saw a 7.6% boost in population to 80,067 people, according to the data.In the new data set, Austin's population is pegged at 979,882 in 2023 — up 0.5% from the year prior — dropping it from the 10th to the 11th most populous city in the country behind Jacksonville, Florida, which has an estimated population of 985,843.Still, the Austin metro isn't stagnating.

I have no prior investment experience but after living in Paraguay, and reading some books about real estate investments, I think I'm ready to buy my first property.

If you do it right, it’s arguably the best market to invest.Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: .9%-1.4% rule dealsCoc ROI: 5-12%Total ROI: 20-40%Cash flow: $50-$250/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-10%+ (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B-These numbers are based on the “sweet spot” in Metro Detroit.

So I bought a cheap single-family rental in a C location.

But it's quite a big deal where we're located and often overlooked by newer investors getting into MTRs. 

If you are going to share lease edits  brought on by local landlord tenant legislation updates make sure to include the location but I suspect edits influenced by tenant interaction will be most helpful to those who read these forums. 

The property can only be vacant for so long without notifying insurance so when the prior tenant moved out could be impactful here.

@Salome Ditmars there are many out there—but unfortunately there is no centralized repository to locate them.
