Hey Christine, I might be biased, but you could look into Cleveland, Oh.Here are a few things to consider against investing there:- Slower appreciation compared to some other markets- Harsh winters, which can lead to higher maintenance costs- Many discounted single and duplex might need repairs or updates, especially if the previous owners haven’t kept up with maintenance over the years- Some local regulations to be aware of (nothing crazy, but worth noting when trying to close deals).But there are also some solid reasons to invest in Cleveland:- Affordable properties in the $100K-$300K range- Strong long term rental market due to a high rent to price ratio- Landlord friendly laws overall- Potential for great cash flow- Opportunities for Section 8 tenants- stable market once you have the right team in placeEvery market has pros and cons so it comes down to your budget, risk tolerance, and finding a reliable crew you can trust.

I especially liked Matt's process of creating my business plan as it forced me to really think about it, get it right and make it easily understood by my clients.His process for the offering also made me think about transparency and other ethical issues that are required by law to be disclosed in the offering.

I don't invest in FL, so I don't know local laws, but find a real estate attorney that does and have a conversation.

Lastly, there's very landlord friendly laws here!
