For example, I've had a couple of 3+ bedrooms sit for a longer period of time because they only had one parking space available (and no on-street options nearby).

But because the seller won't share my offer to the seller, me nor the agent knows what the seller wants.

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

It's a 4 bed, 2 bath in Anna, TX, north of Dallas.

Quote from @Tannia Castro: I would say the key would be to narrow in on an area (this could be a city if you are not from that area and investing remotely), or this could be a part of the city (some local streets) if it is in your backyard.

So, I talked to the current tenant got her bills (I knew how much they would be roughly since I had a rental up the street I was remodeling to get on the market).

There have definitely been some upgrades in the park itself and there were some new restaurants/hotels and they did try to make the streets nicer. 

There are also case by case opportunities within the North Phoenix market where rental rates are stronger. 

North Carolina.

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.
