A more viable approach could be a straight 75% cash-out refinance—but only if you’ve invested in a city with strong, sustained population growth.

Strong rental markets with low vacancy rates are ideal for long-term holds, while areas with high ARV growth are great for flips.

@Kegan SchollFrom my experience, if you're a 22-year-old house hacker, Texas and similar markets can be great for room rentals thanks to population growth, strong demand, and tourism.

It seems like everyone is preparing for a big boost.The current growth rate seems feverish but I've seen a lot of houses going up to prepare for the influx of population.If you have any questions, I'm available to answer them.

Not a tourist destination, but very popular and is experiencing rapid growth.

The Midwest and Northeast saw the biggest year-over-year growth in new-home sales, with jumps of 40.3% and 25.9%, respectively.

For example, population growth in certain neighborhoods and increased investor activity have created opportunities for both long-term rentals and value-add deals.If you’re torn between wholesaling and holding long-term rentals, I’d suggest thinking about your long-term goals.

I personally recommend checking Columbus OH - lots of job growth, population growth, and major companies moving and developing here.

I’d recommend looking for a market that’s affordable and has good rental demand—local job growth or proximity to schools can be a sign of a solid investment.
