Too many people are sleeping on this.Kentucky Economic Development has many site ready properties in smaller areas that are ripe for rentals. 

With a milder climate, lack of natural disaster, good economic opportunities, and decent governance, NC has a bright future.

All of the economics have to be right.

Interest rates have been rising, and economic uncertainty is making a lot of people hesitate.

However, after further research, I’ve noticed that Charlotte, NC, and Raleigh-Durham, NC, are experiencing robust rental market growth and expanding economic opportunities.

It's important to stay informed about developments in the areas you're considering, as well as any potential changes in regulations or economic conditions.

.- Someone talked about crime and hard tenants (who don't pay - usually inherited ones)- not many economic opportunities to attract pool of people and boost area etcI'm looking at houses on both sides (Canada and USA) US, they are cheaper like 731 Pine Ave, Niagara FAlls NY 14301 going for $270,000 (5/2, 2700sq ft) but on Can side, it's like houses are in the US$400K - smaller sq ft.

The “methodology” the guru presents either isn’t all that profitable, isn’t as simple to enact as he suggests, and or works only with certain limits as to economic climate, geographical area, etc.2.

In my market, which is a fairly economical place to build, I am friends with full time builders that are in their properties about $150k/door for construction level finishes.  

Some times in between there in rougher economic conditions it was getting unexpected vacancies.
