The more units you can stockpile the better.

@Ryan JohnsonIndustry, lifestyle, government, and spillover from larger nearby towns and states usually drive population growth.

Hi Brian, your post couldn't have come at a better time than now.I recently joined BP after getting education that I believe is enough to get started in RE, and have been looking at properties mainly in my city (Edmonton or nearby cities e.g.

Then you can learn the entire system & process as opposed to needing to create it.Maybe throw out a couple of cities in your area so that they get picked up as keywords for other nearby investors/wholesalers.

Thanks for your help and I will look to see if there are any brokers nearby as well.

With the goal of gaining significant equity.I believe it will be important to look for a home with much more expensive homes nearby for comps.

I have a couple markets nearby that I could find these and self manage (I already self manage 4 SFH and that’s fine).

But at the same time there aren't many active comparable rental properties nearby, which makes determining the market rent of a property difficult.I found that using rental listings that are inactive but were recently active provides me with a lot more data for determining market rent.To do this I go to the Zillow rent estimator tool and enter my property's address as well as a (very) rough estimate of the rent.

If you have the options and resources, I highly recommend you look into nearby midwestern states such as Indiana or Ohio.

Doesn't necessarily have to be Greenville, can be nearby like Greer/Simpsonville/etc.
