not in columbus ohio they don't care about the environment. we are building 7 houses at a time and there's nothing in the way all of this year. new deliveries and prices are very strong. maybe blue states but not something we have to worry about in our local market. land is a buyer's market in most areas too.

Central Florida, especially Clermont, Orlando, Lakeland, and Tampa suburbs like Riverview and Wesley Chapel, offers solid rental demand with strong growth.

Detroit has a mix of affordability and strong rental demand, with properties under $200k that can cash flow if approached correctly.

It’s growing steadily with strong rental demand, especially for MTRs catering to traveling professionals/relocators.
