These days, even properties with nice amenities like pools need to go the extra mile to capture attention and bookings.

With the exception of some small markets in the Southeast, places like Cleveland are the only major metro areas where a regular investor can find cash-flowing assets with a mix of appreciation. 

If you are looking for the most extreme distress, look in the Southeast, and look at markets like Atlanta, Tampa, Houston, Austin, and Charlotte.

I'm 2 miles from 2 hospitals (one is Swedish and I've heard that they get a fair amount of travelers) and within walking distance to Denver University.

All within a 3 mile radius .  

In the Southeast, Coolidge and Florence, where the path to progress is leading from San Tan Valley, and even way out West in the Buckeye and Goodyear areas are opportunities for growth.

I myself have been a Licensed Real Estate Agent in Southeast Michigan since 2021 when I turned 20 years old, and have took a bit of a hiatus since now to finish my Bachelors in Business Administration.

I don't know how you would present any of that to potential clients from thousands of miles away.No, Brokers are not all the same.
