We’re working in a smaller market like Cornelia, GA, where comparable sales data can be limited, and want to make sure we present a strong case to lenders.

Hi Dave, welcome to the real estate worldCollin, Denton, and Grayson counties are great picks with growing demand and strong rental potential.

Some of the best opportunities can be found in other regions, particularly in markets known for strong rental performance, stable property values, and tenant demand.

It’s an interesting approach, but ensuring a strong screening process and a legally solid agreement is key.

That said, I do this with a a few investors on rentals since I'm a Realtor and Property Manager where I am boots on the ground for purchase, rehab and lease-up, however we had a strong professional experience/life together before partnering.Lending will also be a consideration as most lenders are hesitant to lend to non-citizens given the foreclosure challenges it can pose.

It’s growing steadily with strong rental demand, especially for MTRs catering to traveling professionals/relocators.

Explore off-market deals where competition might be less intense.Don’t get discouraged—success in these markets often comes from building strong connections and thinking creatively about deal sourcing!

My recommendation would be to choose potential markets - in several price points - that have strong rental demand and year-over-year rent increases and that also are in markets that are appreciating. 

To most people, that would mean nothing, but she has strong marketing and design background.

Let me also take a moment to thank my parents who instilled in me strong values and the foundation for success!
