YourPorter has been great for me up to this point, but I'm more motivated now to work on developing more diverse means of booking and that's going to mean my own site, and the integrated site with YourPorter sucks right now.  

Here are the top things that I look at when evaluating a market.Population growthJob growthModern/diverse economy and industriesLow to moderate property taxes and insuranceFavorable landlord/tenant lawsThe markets that I personally like are Indianapolis, Kansas City and the Iowa side of the Quad Cities, primarily Davenport, IA.

Hi Marlon, San Antonio is a great market and has historically survived recessions better than other cities due to its diversity of economic sections.

Obviously Atlanta is much larger and diverse and more competitive in certain ways. 

KC has a growing population, growing jobs, and diverse industry which some of the markets that you mention do not.

I would heavily consider the San Antonio, TX area due to rapid appreciation, economic diversity, and a relatively low price of entry.

Of course then we’ll diversity to multiplex, self-storage, etc, but STR in the right market is more than just “a little” better than LTR.Originally posted by @Kate B.

Also agree on checking for diversions but more than likely the meter is bad and needs to be replaced and it may take a few city workers before you get someone with a head on their shoulders unfortunately.

Louis is very diverse in terms of property types and values.

Fink comes back to America and the West with his "woke" virtue signaling with "sustainability" and "diversity requirements", what a scam.
