I am in Tampa Florida so the investment market is huge here for both as well. 

Look at buying my first investment property (probably a house in the 100-150k range) and begin looking for a tennant.I can imagine there a lot of different theories/ideas with what one could do here--I am just curious to see what other people think.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Why do you say Rochester is a bad area to invest?  

It's creating new ways to unlock property potential and offers a pathway to profitable investments if you're targeting the right neighborhoods.Here’s the deal: SB-9 allows to split a single-family lot into two parcels and build up to four units.

When I started investing there was no Redfin, there was no Zillow, there was no Realtor.

Since this is an INVESTMENT website, a DUPLEX is a FAR BETTER INVESTMENT in Austin than a SFH.  

In my opinion, in many cases it’s better to invest in a property that costs less and is a bit under decorated - then hire a really good decorator to upgrade at least a few rooms for the unique,  “wow” moment in photos.

So the question is whether your house is a good rental investment long term.

Investment Info:Condo buy & hold investment.
