If you were to purchase a $400K property in either of these cities today, applying the 3.5% growth rate, that same property would be valued at around $566,000 by 2034.

It baffles me because locals are soo used to this wonderful city right beneath them that they pass up on opportunities!

Never throw your city into a conversation about another city.

Hello @Sandra Feurtado,Do you need to visit the city where you're considering investing?

 @Chris SeveneyThe long-shot play I became aware of; Capital Improvement Project Funding that the city/county have allocated for projects that meet 2 criteria.Have a lifetime greater than 10 yearsCost more than $50,000I believe, even if the water and refuse collection run is only 1000 ft, that may not qualify but to do it "right", that two mile run would allow the entire subdivision to be supplied with services.

Do you utilize in-fill lots from the city?

Which city do you prefer to invest in and why right now ?

There are literally hundreds of STR facebook groups, for cities and resort areas throughout the U.S. and the world.

The good news is that in these types of cities, there are significantly more properties for sale (albeit at lower price points), and you can gain traction with a few houses per month more easily than in tougher markets like Tampa or Dallas, for example.

This past week, I feel like I spent more time on the real estate than the restaurants (city inspections, building permits, managing a construction crew, late rent from tenants, etc. etc. etc).
