Best Cities for 2024? Strategies?

I like a lot of those cities, I’m a big believer in the mid-west going forward, Birmingham is interesting I was there a few years ago and I’ve been to probably over 100 U.S. cities at this point & frankly it was one of the worst ( though it did have fantastic architecture) & is one of the last affordable sunbelt cities, really that & Memphis are it, so I’ll be interested to see if it takes off.

Strategy for existing home

Factor in about 10% of the sale price to go towards closing costs (transfer taxes, commissions, attorney fee, etc) and miscellaneous expenses and you're at $625K so far - this is NOT including demolition costs, holding costs (taxes, utilities, insurance, management, etc), architectural drawings, surveys, building department filing fees, etc.That said, you may also want to consider the costs and potential benefits of adding sq ft. to the existing home and/or updating the home to potentially boost your sale price.All the best!
