It's a great market for LTR due to Camp LeJune (marine base) being here & the attraction of coastal living.

Then again, as an STR I'm not sure that matters as much because you're not selling the home, you're renting to vacationers so that shouldn't be as affected. 

And I do get the attraction to bring your property closer to you. 

I'm starting to look closer in Portland and Eugene and think Eugene might be particularly attractive because of the large university.

December and Jan are the least attractive times of year to move for a variety of reasonsIf you get a good application with Feb move in, take it.

Hey Asma, Cleveland attracts Section 8 investors due to affordable properties, high demand for section 8 housing and potentially good rental income.

For example a price below where I think it will sell for, attracting more Buyers, but not too low where I'm doing unnecessary work filtering out Buyers who don't understand the market conditions.

Owner financing is an option for sure especially with such an attractive rate.

Anything smaller may not attract larger investors or offer the economies of scale needed for profitability.Design Style: BTR developments often consist of attached townhomes, usually with features like garages and a more upscale design to appeal to renters looking for something between an apartment and a single-family home.Location Factors: The success of your development depends heavily on location.
