Proximitity to key attractions?

I listened to a BiggerPockets podcast at least 1.5 years ago with a lady from LA who knocked down houses and built large 3-4 bedroom 4plexes.

Including all utilities can make your offer more attractive to potential tenants and make the rental process easier.

These areas are known for their family-friendly neighborhoods, good schools, and strong demand for rental properties, making them attractive for real estate investors.

It's in Florida, has great view , close to disney attractions!

The thought of short term rentals attracts me.

This facility is going to be a fan attraction.

Additionally, with affordability and a median home price below the national average, Cleveland stands out as an attractive option for investors seeking a promising return.

Look at your monthly payment (PITI = Principal,Interest, Taxes, Insurance) + HOA + (other maintenance fees if any) and if this amount is less than what you charge for rent (whether its Long, Mid, or Short Term rentals) and you are happy with the positive cash flow, then yes.Or maybe you're breaking even with the condo but you have  knowledge that the condo will explode in value due to some business/attraction/law/policy that will prop-up the sales price in the near future, then yes.Really, it boils down to what your goals are for this first investment.
