I still attend local meet ups and talk to dozens of investors and am considering other strategies like Mid-Term Rentals or rent by the room. 

As we’re beginning to get a grasp on the scale of the challenges ahead we wanted to highlight a few areas of note and concern that is already influencing the local and national real estate market.

Another trick from investers I’ve worked with is chatting up folks at local meetups who’ve recently navigated the same municipality.. they’re often happy to share how fast or slow things move.

I say start there, exhaust your local efforts before jumping toward "shiny things" and unknown markets, persons etc.. 

Would love to be a resource for you here locally in Jacksonville!

The local market has a lot of opportunities, especially if you’re looking into multifamily or creative financing.

Start by getting familiar with your local market.

The management companies & local investors usually lease places up within 1-2 weeks max (depending on if you want to hold out of higher rents) How would you think about leasing these out? 

In 2022 the rents increased 12.1% year over year which was the 3rd highest in the entire country per https://www.axios.com/local/cleveland/2023/02/14/cleveland-rent-prices.

It’s crucial to have local market knowledge or work with someone who does.
