Quote from @Blake Steagall: Hello @Jaycee Greene, I do not own any real estate in that market yet but am interested.  

@Jonathan LudizacaIt really depends on the market.

We manage several hundred rental properties throughout the San Diego market and I found your post very interesting. 

@Ella Marie, I can't speak on behalf of your market, but in my respective market, competition is tough, and the successful fix-and-flip vendors are often full-time operating businesses.

It is hard to pin down specifically, but that seems to have been a factor in a few of the ARV-Appraisals that I've seen and has impacted the refinancing process.Otherwise, it has been a great market for my clients, great cash flows and repeatability which has really helped as they have scaled.

I usually just google "market name" airbnb or short term regulations.

@Nick ConnorsIt’s great that you’re using your savings to invest early, and Columbus could be a solid market given your familiarity.

Over the years the only place I have lost money is the stock market.

It is a very competitive market and units in the tens of thousands.

Cleveland is a great market if you know how to navigate it and have a good property manager.
