The market in Racine is much different than Kenosha and we have been having a hard time getting quality tenant applicants.

That gets worse as you get farther out of the cityTLDR: values depreciate, inflation has gone basically nowhere in Japan for a long time, the supply of housing is pretty good compared to demand (unlike the US) and that's because of flexibility with rezoning and development, taxes on rental income are high. 

We state that in some instances investors appear to have considered only the high return offered as the sole basis of their investment criteria.  

So, even when the market is challenging, you can still see properties and stay current.Don't take a break when the rates are high.

Jonathan Having worked most of those markets (Detroit included), I'd say most all of them will offer investors a very similar return.

You can go to Redfin or Zillow and see the level of finish houses with short DOM have in the area, can you at least match that quality?

Strong rental markets with low vacancy rates are ideal for long-term holds, while areas with high ARV growth are great for flips.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

Typically, the investors I work with purchase properties in their personal names and then quit-claim the title into their LLC after the deed has been recorded.Markets like OKC, Memphis, and Little Rock offer some excellent, affordable growth opportunities, and I’d be happy to chat with you to explore these options further.

But presuming you are talking about doing the above, this is a high risk strategy.
