On the upside, it's not uncommon to get more mid-term renters who want the place for the season (snowbirds), which drastically reduces your costs to manage.Fort Myers and surrounding coastal towns are pretty nice in spots, but you do get more "party" types on the mainland.

Hi all.I'm looking into the surrounding Austin area for my first rental investment property.My agent found me 10 properties matching what I'm looking for, and we boiled it down to 3.Since I'm out of state and unfamiliar with the area, I was hoping to gain some insight and tips from those familiar with the area.

Not all of the villages are low barrier,  and the ones that are of course cause more problems in the surrounding neighborhood.  

The median price ARV for this home I believe is 105-130 (I looked at the surrounding homes) and I’m thinking 25-30k (as an estimate, to be on the safe side) in repairs. https://www.trulia.com/p/ma/springfield/16-emily-st-springfield-ma-01109--2000301088Thank you all for your advice! 

Hello!

I just moved to Edmond, OK from Nashville, TN. I currently do not have any experience flipping homes other than renovating the two I have owned and lived in. I am currently in the process of trying to understa...

So if you do have every person from your surrounding community looking to use your dumpster just change it back if they allow.

That being said, there are a lot of other little beach towns surrounding Asbury (Avon, Ocean Grove, Bradley) that will always be more desirable than inland in Neptune.

I have started to look at Brrrr strategy, this seams a better route as well a looking in the surrounding communities. 

Pick different potentials in the same investment market...run the numbers before and have a list of what you need to know or look at, then run the numbers after...depending on the property and intent use one of the calculators on this site for every one...work it as and then use the tool to calculate what it would need to be  --  if they are the same then it might be the right deal.Once you have this then you can move to other surrounding markets easier...just make sure you adjust your assumptions to align with that market.One final note and this depends on your area, here in FL you have to account for what your property taxes "will be" not what they are. 

Glassboro has seen a large amount of development and the towns surrounding it are seeing growth as well.
