I would think landlords with 100 day old vacancies would be a good lead opportunity.

Same principles apply - being busy will create opportunity. 

Last time I checked, the prices did go up.

Like creating a stock portfolio, you could invest in some high appreciation markets and have some cash flow ones to offset the income.If you are thinking long term, appreciation is the way to go and generally at the higher price points.

The Latest OTM episode calls out some markets that I've been hearing about for a while, ie Dallas, but one specifically that caught my ear....
@Shyd Coloma the word might be out on Oxnard!  I do generally agree with ...

Over priced, layout is awkward, junky neighbors, back on market/under contract multiple times, bad photos, bad timing(got buried from other listings, weather occurrence, etc). 

Prices vary a lot from firm to firm, and you can never compare it apples-to-apples.

Auctions can be a great opportunity!

In my view, this trend is likely to persist and could be a strong demographic tailwind for a long-term investor like yourself.Specifically, Athens, AL—a city about 30 miles west of downtown Huntsville—was the #1 fastest-growing city in the state in 2023, so there’s a lot of growth, development, and opportunity in and around Huntsville proper.If you have the time, do some driving around.
