If you feel like you have a strong argument, you might as well try it's the way I look at it.

We hear from a lot of out of state investors that Milwaukee is a great place to invest in real estate due to its affordability and strong economic growth. 

We’re working in a smaller market like Cornelia, GA, where comparable sales data can be limited, and want to make sure we present a strong case to lenders.

Oklahoma as a whole has strong rental demand in many markets, just need to be mindful of the price-to-rent balance, as you mentioned.

I would consider selling, i’m not necessarily saying you should, BUT only hold if you have a very strong belief in the appreciation of this property. 

Some of the best opportunities can be found in other regions, particularly in markets known for strong rental performance, stable property values, and tenant demand.

A close friend of mine in Houston once had a client who owned two properties across different states.With your North Port place being so fresh (2021 build) and on a canal, you’ve got strong appeal for folks looking to enjoy that waterfront Florida vibe.

If you’re open to exploring outside the Bay Area, markets like Milwaukee, Chicago, and parts of Indiana offer strong potential for flips and rentals.

@Cheng ChuMcKinney is a fantastic market with strong population growth, and it’s a great choice for single-family home (SFH) investments.

With a budget of $300K-$400K, you could potentially find single-family homes or small multi-units in those areas.I'd recommend researching rental demand near universities like Duke or NC State or even checking out neighborhoods with strong job growth near tech hubs.
