Happy to give you a quick background about the market.The median home price in the MSA is about $350,000, but you can find plenty of rent-ready properties in suburbs north of the Tennessee River for under $250,000 or under.

I have family in Houston, Dallas, and the Valley, I was networking with brokers in San Antonio, but the Taxes seem to be quite high as well in that State, although much favorable laws/regs on the landlord side.

Quote from @Larissa Leeper: Hi Jaycee and River. 

.: Hi there, my STR in the Hudson Valley, NY is currently insured with Proper.

Teak is on the right   Hope to put a dam in the valley for a pond  

@Edward James smith theres a great meetup at The Black Diamond in Spokane Valley, third Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm. https://reinetworking.com/Reach out anytime, I work with a lot of investors in the area and would be happy to discuss ideas.

Phoenix metro is essentially East Valley good, West Valley not as good. 

I hope to make it out to some investor meetups in the Treasure Valley this year.

I am in the Lehigh Valley.

Generally larger commercial properties and shopping centers are easier to classify with hard and fast rules, but to the points above the residential areas really move very quickly and have way more nuance than most people care to admit.zip codes are generally way too large for my liking at least in my market to provide any kind of insights other than macro level economics but even then highways or rivers that cut through a zip code can end up with totally different trade areas.we can get pretty granular with cellphone data and with grocery center data to understand the trade areas and their true boundaries, but that kind of data pull is generally only cost effective for investors doing larger scale projects or developments, and honestly we still just end up getting on the ground and feeling it out, so I generally tell people that the money is better spent on a plane ticket and weekend trip in the area you are looking rather than any kind of "trade area" level data studies.and generally B class in 1 area means something different than another.
