Smaller markets like Ocala, Spring Hill, and Palmetto can be great for affordable buy-and-hold strategies, while Gainesville offers unique student rental potential.

The city offers more affordability compared to the DMV area, with many renovated homes selling below 350k giving you a better chance at finding a property that fits your budget while avoiding sky-high prices.
