Markets like Texas (San Antonio or Dallas) or North Carolina (Charlotte) could offer better cash flow with lower costs.

Why did you pay cash for the home in North Carolina?

Let me help you find a great deal in north GA!

Currently have three more in progress right now in both North Carolina and South Carolina. 

Don't have any land specifically, although we've got a small town about 40 minutes north of Baton Rouge we've been investing in lately that seems to have some demand.

Appreciate you taking a quick look but Steilacoom is a different market than North Tacoma.

While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.

Part of the allure was the holding fees (insurance / property were several thousand less then up north) After one year, my Huntsville tenant had to move out early for a job relocation.

I own a house in North Port, Florida (right on the border of Port Charlotte).

I currently have my investment portfolio all in North Jersey and planning on purchasing a number of units in Syracuse.
