We've never met more than 60% of our clients in person, and few have ever come to see their properties.In my opinion, you're better off researching potential cities online and interviewing potential investment teams via Zoom than traveling to the city.This is the perfect example if you sit on the internet how you can and will lose out on massive opportunities, " Never invest in these cities, " TERRIBLE advice from the internetI can only speak about these cities from personal experience, ALL HAVE BOOMED, and have provided massive % returns over the last 10 years, West Palm Beach, I can't believe this is actually on this list, makes zero sense, MASSIVE returns over 10 years,Columbia SC, Booming!!  

Quote from @Rodney West: Does anybody have a good workaround for city ordinance restricting more than five unrelated occupants in a single-family residence?  

I have had a ton of OOS investors from the west coast invest in philly and they moved to columbus. 

Working out of West Palm currently but making some income on my own.

Hey @David Cherkowsky my wife and I house-hacked just outside Alexandria (in the Fairfax County side) and now are in City of Alexandria in the West End.We went the walkout basement route but have friends who did rent by the room (they're past clients of @Russell Brazil). 

Anyone recommend any heloc providers that work in west palm beach area?

(My assumption is it may be tough to prove enough material participation if using someone local to manage.)Two things worth noting:1- I'll be discussing with my CPA in-depth soon, but would like to hear other's experiences on this.2 - The main reasons I'm looking to STR's is the tax benefits (Cost-Seg) & appreciation that comes with buying in these areas opposed to the mid-west where I look for long-term rentals..

I like the west side of Cleveland, because most of the neighborhoods don't require a POS from the city.

If you dig in on the south or west side, you should be getting deals that are distressed enough to just use regular hard/bridge/private money that is expensive. 

However, the rapid rise in housing costs is dramatically impacting people who live and work in Worcester, pushing them farther west and south in search of more affordable options to buy or rent.
