It is a very competitive market and units in the tens of thousands.

I'm sure you will get bombarded with multiple markets that others suggest. 

Cleveland is a great market if you know how to navigate it and have a good property manager.

I plan to manage the properties myself until it conflicts with my regular job.I would appreciate any advice on these markets to ensure success and connect with local investors.    

I appreciate the encouragement—I'm excited to learn from and connect with investors in this community.Right now, I’m primarily focused on house hacking in the LA market, but I’m open to exploring out-of-state opportunities later in my career.

Is Phoenix a good market?

@Linda PhamAll our midterm rentals are in Colorado as are our clients, so I don't know Houston's market.

I have been narrowing down some markets and trying to explore/research more and network.

It has been on the rental market for about 55 days and the average in the area is supposedly 36.

Plus, you already know the market, which gives you an edge.
