If you learn how to use Hard Money loans properly and how to find good deals in need of rehab, there are plenty of areas of the country where you could buy 3-4 rent properties in solid middle class areas with good cashflow.

I'm using LandInsights to select the top performing markets across the country.

The southern/middle part of the country has several markets that are advantageous.

Even in the most ludicrously priced area of the country (along with Manhattan!).

Opendoor Technologies Inc. has released its annual list of the hottest ZIP codes in the country for home sales. 

For sure you need a lender who understands them VERY well - try connecting with @Jose Valdovinos who is here in Chicago, but lends across the country!

In 2022 the rents increased 12.1% year over year which was the 3rd highest in the entire country per https://www.axios.com/local/cleveland/2023/02/14/cleveland-rent-prices.

Not sure if it was state or country wide. 

@Chris Lin not sure where else you own properties, but all their fees are what is normal for the Metro Detroit area.We have heard some PMCs offer lower fees in other parts of the country, but from what we've researched, these only apply to Class A properties - which are REAL easy to manage.We actually charge LESS than average to manage Class A rentals in our market.

Because it's easy to get a license, but it's hard to build a business.Who is going to list their home with a guy who lives in another country?
