Much like other markets in the Midwest, investors go to our market because of the low barrier to entry.

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

The STR market here has become way more saturated and competitive especially in San Juan. 

Make sure there really is a market for it.

You could put most of your funds in the stock market and access them when needed for a HML.

Savvy investors can find pockets of opportunity within the market.

As an agent investor in the Midwest I'd be more than happy to discuss markets with you if ever interested.Cheers! 

We are a massive appreciation market. 

Investing in real estate in actually starting, managing, and marketing a company. 

Plenty of investors work the Atlanta market but the ROI is better in Huntsville and Atlanta is tenant friendly.
