Do your due diligence.furthermore, are there any burnout houses close by, is it in a safe neighborhood, is this in a rural area, is it a metropolitan area, what's the economy like there, just because other places nearby are renting doesn't mean that your house one block over is not next to something that is uninhabitable, or poses a security risk, or maybe near an abandoned field, a graveyard, an airport, many different factors there to consider.  

Shasta is not close to a major airport making any travel more cumbersome.

I’m biased, but I’ll chime in with @James Wachob and cast my vote for Memphis.Memphis offers incredible logistical advantages: the largest commercial airport in the world, all major US railroads converging here, and a thriving distribution hub.

Proximity to mass transit (mentioned by another poster re following them), proximity to downtown (maybe not so much now with work-from-home being a thing), proximity to airports, highways, pollution-belching industrial plants, hospitals, universities, the lake, etc., all help to define which South side neighborhoods have what it takes to overcome market inefficiencies and become "up and coming."

Larger cities offer better infrastructure, such as international airports, interstate highways, and a broader talent pool, making them attractive to businesses and tenants.Avoid Rent ControlRent control laws can hinder your ability to adjust rents to match inflation, limit tenant screening, and complicate evictions.

We've decided that we'll likely look for something somewhere in Guanacaste because we want beach AND proximity to airport (LIR).We go each August to visit her family.

Quote from @Sam Robbins: Hi,I’m Sam, a new real estate investor in Nashville - I got my first property this pas year, just south of the airport.

I once bought a house in Essington (Tinicum Township) - 5 minutes from Philadelphia Airport and I learn that the small Tinicum Township had a lot of income from the airport economy: hotels, crashpads, parkings etc
