STRs work best in tourist-heavy areas with high demand, while LTRs perform well in markets with stable economies and diverse job opportunities.

To be more specific about what i'm looking to do: My 1-2 year goal is to employ the BRRRR strategy with SFHs and Condos by buying distressed / highly undervalued properties that need work (preferably all-cash) in low crime areas with strong rental demand, renovate them within budget (again preferably all-cash) and get them rent ready before refinancing them at the highest ARV possible.

Companies choosing new locations look for these key factors:Metro population over 1 Million: Companies require access to a large, skilled workforce and established infrastructure.Low Crime Rates: High crime deters both businesses and residents.Low Operating Costs: Companies prefer locations with lower taxes and fewer regulations to maintain competitiveness.Low Risk of Natural Disasters: Companies avoid areas prone to natural disasters that can disrupt operations.

Interest rates are NOT high right now.

If it's the same 212 loan that I have some high level knowledge on, they offer fix and flip loans and are generally associated with a specific wholesaling firm. 

We are definitely likely going to see a drop in interest rates, which means you could always refinance in the future too to further reduce your monthly payments.

I highly doubt many people have many a lot of money, because I have not really seen any in the FB group post things like...
