@Natalie Johnstone I would look in areas you have some knowledge of, that you possibly have connections in or at the very least are landlord friendly and experiencing strong economic growth!

High interest rates and dwindling capital reserves have led smaller investors, who have long driven the market, to pull back.Shift in Investor BehaviorFor years, individual investors fueled price growth through small-dollar deals, but rising interest rates have made them less aggressive.

Unless economic issues arise, all I continue to see happening, is what has already been happening and that is growth.

This significant growth suggests a strong demand for housing in the area.- Rental Opportunities: With a rental vacancy rate of 6.0%, there's a reasonable balance between supply and demand in the rental market.

I am right behind the other Jonathan (@Jonathan Greene) the best one is the one you can use on a consistent basis.We use hubspot for our general contracting business because we believe in the long-term growth potential it has. 

You will need to wait to refinance or wait for rent growth or both to be able to move out and at least break even. 3.

As rental rates progressively outpace expenses over time, the growth in cash flow can provide a reliable income stream.In line with my investment approach, I focus on these three key metrics when conducting property analyses:Initial Equity at the End of Year One:This equity can result from either a down payment or improvements made during a rehab phase.

They practice law everyday, they don't know the market, have access to deals, etc. and they're certainly not out there performing the tasks that people hire Realtors to do in my experience.

When everything has to be in different "apps" to get stuff done, you introduce a ton of clicks into your repetitive tasks...and that gets annoying fast!

Simon, Here in FL its much easier for us because we know a few things:1) The U.S. is severely under supplied in housing units. 2) Tons of people are moving to Florida everyday which makes point #1 even more drastic for us. 3) Interest rates are preventing people from selling their homes, because then they would need to re-trade for a higher interest rate buying a new home, which is creating even more housing demand.So with this knowledge, now we move to more market specific data, which is what I talk about in the original post.If a market shows decent growth and demand, then it all boils down to the numbers.Its important not to forget about any costs though.
