I checked each on a weekly basis.  

@Saika Maeda If you pay the buyer's agent commission directly, it becomes part of your property's basis (purchase price) rather than an immediate tax-deductible expense.

Find a realtor that will submit the offers and lower your cost basis enough to where your returns get a bit of a bump. 

I plan to never pay tax on the appreciation with the current tax rules (1031, die with step up basis, etc).Best wishesYou are way off topic.

I agree on a neighborhood basis.  

At your age building a nice cash basis is a great idea. 

However, I find the real value in the longer term appreciation that shows up in 5-10 years of the daily grind of rental properties.

One would be nuts to value this on a CAP basis.

I recommend setting up keyword alerts for each area as they are discussed in the forums daily with advertisements posted in the BiggerPockets marketplace hourly.One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or lose money in any market.

Remember NOI, or net operating income is the basis of market value in rental property.
