We are in Sub-markets, which have led us to having a very small general contracting pool and can't find any contractors to keep up with demand.

The expectation here is more income, assuming that your property is in an area where furnished rentals are in demand.

@Gil CanfuBased on my experience working with over 400 investors, investing in a single-family home in Dallas with a $300K budget is a smart move due to the area's strong rental demand and appreciation potential.

I’d recommend connecting with local property managers and agents as soon as possible—agents can help you identify deals that fit your BRRRR criteria, and property managers can give insight into rental demand and market rents.

A big part of it is the lack of inventory—there just aren’t enough homes for sale, and Long Island isn’t exactly expanding in size, so demand keeps pushing prices up.

Finding deals outside of California can definitely open up new opportunities, especially given the cost of living and market dynamics in the state.When looking for properties in other states, consider focusing on areas with strong rental demand, economic growth, and population increase.

To get familiar with the area, network through local real estate groups like AZREIA, connect with multifamily brokers, and explore neighborhoods firsthand to assess tenant demand. 

It’s a city I know well because I built a 12-door portfolio there between 2019 and 2021.Detroit offers a lot of value in terms of affordability and rental demand.

Hey BP Community,I know the market has its pros and cons—affordable properties, strong rental demand in some areas, but also challenges like property management, vacancies, and neighborhood selection.For those investing in Detroit:What strategies have worked best for you (buy-and-hold, BRRRR, flips, etc.)?

Ballantyne and South Charlotte are experiencing continuous growth, and the demand fundamentals remain strong.
