TIA I look at these things the most when looking for BRRRR cities - Rent-to-Price Ratio: Look for cities where the average rent is high compared to the average mortgage cost- Population and Job Growth: Focus on cities experiencing steady population and job growth, higher than national average- Availability of Distressed Properties: Look for cities with a supply of pre-foreclosures, short sales, and abandoned propertiesNormally bigger cities in those states should do well, houses are still somewhat affordable (comparatively) and if you do a big rehab it'll pay offThank you, @Mary Ainsworth for very valuable tips!

For one of my rentals (4bed 3bath, 1850sf w/ pool, todays value around 800kish) my premium is 4,000 a year  Again, it varies depending on so many things so I tell my clients to get quotes for properties they are interested in to really get an accurate idea.  

@Lynette Guy Thanks for then next door tip.

First time homeowner here (since 2020)…I really want to move out of my current home because it is too large for me and my two dogs and I hate cleaning so much space (refuse to pay someone to do it haha)it’s a 3BR/2.5BA, two stories, 2565 sq ft on a 7000 lot with a huge pool in the backyard.

Im up for advice, tips, or reasons to let this pipe dream die before i take it any further. thanks!

You want the widest pool of buyers and to get the highest price possible, REA and MLS is the way to go.

I did have to leave them last year because they had a $1million max liability if any rentals have a pool.

You typically fall into a deal or two at the start, but then you have to really go to work to keep it going.Biggest mistake most investors make is assuming all properties perform the same, regardless of location, tenant pool, etc.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.When investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

I'm about to seek legal council but wanted to run a quick check here about thoughts, tips, advices.

Various classes have different property values, tenant pools, turnover ratios, etc  I’ll posit a link below as this can get to be a lengthy note  https://www.realtymogul.com/knowledge-center/article/what-is...Are you looking into short term, mid term, or long term rentals?
