I'm from Florida and moved to the Columbus market after seeing the massive growth coming to the city. 

I've made it a habit to track Department of City Planning updates and zoning proposals because they often signal where the next hot areas will be.

For instance, in New York State, it's not permitted to collect last month's rent, additional security deposits beyond one month's rent, or pet deposits.Regarding the carpet issue, even tenants without pets can sometimes leave carpets in less-than-ideal condition after a couple of years.

@Chris McClellan check out some of the great things happening in Detroit this year, one of the best cashflowing and appreciating cities in the US!

I'm curious to hear about your experience here in Boston - I know the Seaport looks like it's own independent city compared to 5 years ago!

The waterfront area downtown is beautiful for as far as the eye can see in both directions.As remote work takes hold and knowledge workers look to escape Seattle, I can definitely see it becoming an Austin-esque city in the PNW.

In several California cities there is this concept of 'banked rent'; that is rent increases from past years that were not applied.

I guess that means, there is healthy demand for rents in the metroplex.I am curious if there is a city or few Zip codes within Tulsa, Broken arrow, Bixby, Jenks and Owasso, that is preferred by prospective tenants ? 

There are pros and cons to long term and short term from a rental management side, and purchase/acquisition.Long term = lower vacancy, lower expenses, potentially lower revenueShort Term = higher vacancy, higher expenses, potential for higher revenue, financing is more expensive than long term rentalsWatch out for local STR regulations, they vary from city to city.

This is New York not Arizona,  we pay top dollars for houses.
