@Theresa Harris is spot on.

Specifically, where are the opportunities and how do you spot them? 

If it were me, I would try to find out who is further down the list and see if I could buy their spot from them.

Jewell, you're spot on about focusing on a property's weakest areas.

While many gurus glorify the strategies they’re selling through courses or books, methods like BRRRR aren’t easy and can put you in a tough financial spot if you’re not careful.

I believe Travis' ranking is spot on and how I would rank them.

While Vegas might feel like a good choice because it’s closer, let me make the case for Panama City Beach or Destin—they’re the kind of spots that could turn your first investment into a major win.Here’s the thing: PCB and Destin aren’t just beach towns—they’re vacation magnets.
