Tampa is a strong market with steady population growth and high demand.

While Portland may not require parking, I would strongly consider it if you’re thinking you’ll sell them individually as condos, especially in the Jade District.

If the market is strong, holding could lead to future gains, especially with depreciation deductions offsetting rental income.

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.

Hi Noy, Pittsburgh is a strong market for investors.

@Pranav PatelStarting your real estate journey with $50K saved and a strong income ahead is a fantastic position to be in.

Demand remains strong and rents continue to climb.Great place to invest in rental properties!

City-Data and Census.gov are solid resources, and sites like Rentometer can give you a good sense of rental prices.After that, I narrow it down to neighborhoods with strong fundamentals—good schools, low crime, and convenient amenities.

And, again, eventually a strong business model/niche will show its numbers and then everyone will be doing it.

Hey fellow suburban Illinois BPers - Not sure if this has been sent/shared previously, but thought it'd be good to recap - Chicago Agent Magazine recently reported that suburban Chicago was ranked the second-hottest rental market in the nation (Here’s the article.).This confirms what a lot of us have seen: demand for rentals is really strong in the suburbs right now.
