Another huge thing to consider is laws and regulations, many times new investors will jump at Hudson county thinking the proximity to NYC is great for renting (which it is) but many of the municipalities in Hudson county have very strict landlord laws. 

Los Angeles County continues to grapple with devastating wildfires that have claimed five lives, destroyed over 2,000 structures and forced the evacuation of at least 130,000 residents.

I feel that there aren't many courses due to areas of the county being different.

If you cull anything from the feedback, it is that each county (there are four in Hawaii) regulate STRs differently.

I am in Orange County, California, and a 4-unit in Newport Beach with one unit being a 3/2 for example LTR would not bring in 7K gross income on that unit.

There good ways to navigate the market between the 5 counties, 2 states and many different HOA regulations.

It’s a fully renovated, modern-styled, 2-story townhouse with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a basement in Baltimore County, where I live.

After the Paradise fire Butte county lose nearly two-thirds of its population.

Househack properties in 2024 sold 1-2 weeks faster than they did in 2023.Deals are tougher to negotiate as well. 2 of NYC's surrounding Counties (Westchester & Suffolk) are averaging above asking price sales on 2-4 family properties. 

I'd look at that as well as the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance, which every Pa township, borough or city has, or if they don't have those docs, they are covered by the county codes.
