I would personally recommend Columbus OH because of the great macroeconomics - population growth, job growth, and lots of major companies moving and developing out here such as Amazon, Intel, Meta, Google, etc.

I find new inspectors (both new to the profession and/or new to the city/county/etc.) tend to be the ones with the biggest power egos.

Goal: Develop the tools to build generational wealth through real estate by executing one successful BRRRR by year's end ("success" would be getting most if not all of my capital back through refi of a property that genuinely cash-flows).

Very stable, lots of new exciting development projects, and surrounded by larger metros like Atlanta and Nashville that are too crowded and too expensive.

Also, who or what profession would help me look at an opportunity to understand if its a good deal or not?  

Mostly, I have been sourcing land for the development of a hybrid hotel/apartment community in Phoenix.

We bought from a builder that was in phase 1 of their development.

This seems to be the case with all these new apartment developments throughout central CT.

Prior to growing, concentrate on developing areas with top-notch schools and think about beginning with a single-family rental to get expertise.
