Any market can work, you should consider a market that you have some 'competitive advantage' compared to others.Think of an area that you grew up in, went to school, visit friends / family, visit often, best of luck.Also, do you have any experience in rentals / short-term rentals.Air-bnb's hosts have become 'commercialized'.You will not out-perform a host who has years of experience, does this 24/7 and has a team of support.Best of luck.

Don't rush through the process; take the time to gather the information you need to make a successful investment.In summary, exploring HUD loans can provide you with competitive rates and favorable terms for your real estate investments.

@Jill DavisTypically banks (depository institutions) are most competitive with jumbo since these programs are typically portfolio products.

Now, what if I make pets welcome..With one click - I just eliminated half the competition.

This keeps the competition away and the returns higher.

Less competition?

Such leases may contain provisions such as options to purchase, covenants not to lease space to tenants that would cause competition to a particular tenant, longer terms, expansion provisions (giving tenants rights to expand into additional space in the future), and sublease arrangements with subtenants.

Over the years it has gotten more competitive but I have expanded to other Ohio markets and have gotten into strategies that produce more revenue, like Airbnb

I own an interest in over 2,500 units at this point, from fractional investing within a club.

This isn't a competition for me.
