@Camille Romero I would not buy a property in a city with a declining population.

Awesome city. 

Property owners in Oklahoma City - do you water your foundations?

Because of that low barrier to entry, plenty of investors from all over are looking at this city.

Hi Kevin, I would encourage you to maybe consider outside of New York in the future. 

By no means cheap but solid rent + demand, fun place to live, decent inventory (relatively speaking), and is still commutable to the city. 

It is a small town, definitely a tertiary market right now, but that is where opportunity is going to be found.I think LTR, in the right location, can provide enough revenue annually to cover all holding and leverage costs while the resident pays down the principle and the demand in the city sustains slow and steady appreciation. 

When looking at properties in other cities, I usually start by researching market trends like price-to-rent ratios, crime rates, and growth potential.

Was your QOZB designed for a specific state/city, or was it structured to operate more nationally?

Runner Up:- Lincoln City, Seaside, Gearhart - All of these towns are charming and growing and have all of the above to offer.
