@Carlos Quiros You might want to follow the "Deep Dive" series we're doing on our BiggerPockets blog about Metro Detroit cities, City of Detroit Neighborhoods and comparing Metro Detroit to other hotspots investors usually consider: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/99854-deep-dive-into-metro-detroit-cities-ecorseOur analysis is a template you can follow for any city, but doubt you'll find this much info for any other market in the US.

It seemed like something I would be good at, we were well-positioned to do so (capitalized and in an investing hotspot at the time) and my wife wanted to leave her corporate job so this was a way for her to do it. 

In retrospect, there are many areas in the NOLA area that are in a transition were a market that once was bad, is now a hot spot to invest in.

So, you'll need to invest time making HUNDREDS of low-ball offers to get one accepted or find a way to source properties BEFORE they are listed by an agent.So, you either have to accept it and speculate that future increases in rents & values will make it worthwhile, or invest out of state.You might want to follow the "Deep Dive" series we're doing on our BiggerPockets blog about Metro Detroit cities, City of Detroit Neighborhoods and comparing Metro Detroit to other hotspots investors usually consider:https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

@Abigail Nittle I agree that we use our mobile hotspot for WiFi when on vacation.

Avondale certainly is a hotspot.

I was raised in SoCal and when we were there I know St George UT was a hot spot but I know the prices have gone up since then of course not  as high as CA. 

We closed in July though I had my reservations as COVID was playing out here in Phoenix as a hot spot.

However if you're trying to upgrade your tenant pool or have other strategic reasons - then providing a hotspot is very doable.
