Our lovely East Coast boasts some ideal areas that have shown consistent property price value increases over time, making them attractive for long-term holds, particularly in the rental property market.Consider these cities and zip codes in Southeast Florida:Miami-Dade County:Miami Beach (33139, 33140)Coral Gables (33134, 33146)Brickell (33131)Broward County:Fort Lauderdale (33301, 33304)Pompano Beach (33062, 33064)Hollywood (33019, 33020)These locations have witnessed remarkable growth, but it's always wise to conduct your own research and evaluate factors that align with your investment goals and risk tolerance.If you'd like to hear personal experiences or discuss further, I'm more than happy to chat with you.
