I agree with Shawn, while expensive in some areas, it is not saturated for LTRs in Central Florida given the migration data.

And they were giving steep discounts if you were going to California one way Funny, but it's actually one way they gauge the migration between states.If they didn't count the homeless population and illegal immigrants moving in, the 1000 per day would be even larger....

Our low unemployment is driving up housing prices from a lull we have been in for 18 months and we continue to have population migration from NorCal and the most expensive area in the nation, the Bay Area.

So I advertise and screen tenants through Zillow to start then migrate to Avail which is free.

Florida in general has a higher appreciation rate than many other states and a great net migration along with the other things you mentioned.

I'm not currently investing here, but looking at the high crime rate, high taxes,  and negative net migration.

Also, millennials are migrating to Cleveland due to its  growing job market, lower cost of living and decent salaries. 

Growing Population: Florida consistently experiences population growth due to both domestic migration and international immigration.

columbus > Cleveland I'd debate anyone on a panel any day mainly the net migrations, economics, development, etc doesn't' mean you can't get good deals but the average house in Cleveland is 114k approx in columbus it's greater 300k

People are migrating from STR to LTR, and those who stay with STR will be rewarded by time, if they keep their documents and licenses up to date.
