It helped me avoid wasting time on areas that were too expensive or not a good fit.I also recommend to look for markets with strong, diverse economies and job growth.

Local RE Economy : Although proportionately more affluent areas were impacted, Altedena is one of the most diverse constituencies in the State.

@Alexander HunterHi AlexanderYes you are correct, even though the AU market is softening some, it is still quite expensive to get in and can be difficult to find good deals - not impossible though.I invest in the US market from Australia, must admit, as a few have said on this thread, the diversity of the US market is great, and affordability and cashflow is excellent. 

(Traffic, long waits at restaurants, Did i say Traffic, Not a diverse town for activities)-There seem to be a lot of vacancies for lease and lots of people also looking to lease.

The city’s diverse workforce, combined with new developments and infrastructure projects, ensures that there is a consistent pool of renters, which can result in reliable cash flow for property owners.Finally, the Detroit real estate market is supported by numerous incentives for investors.

However, Houston’s diverse economy and affordability also present compelling opportunities.Feel free to reach out if you have more specific questions or if you need insights about particular neighborhoods in Texas!

Wow @Jay Hinrichs you are kind of a celebrity!

We are going invest with PPR for more diversity. 

Have some diversity, C areas with low entry and high cash flow, the majority should be B areas with stable income, appreciation, tenants. 

Looking forward to hearing more about your journey and celebrating your success!
