The real power of single family residential comes with stable, consistent markets that chug along, have good rental base/demand and growth potential. 

There is only one listing on market for $24/ft.

I sold out years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. unless your up in Madison or by the REsivour in prime areas Getting houses stripped is a major issue and letting folks just walk in is insanity in those markets NO LOCAL would remotely consider that.

If you’re in a market where you have to spend money on roofs, or exterior paint that’s ctainly you can save up for.

The "best market" is less about the market per se and more about the deal you're able to find in my opinion.

Looking for both Real Estate Agents in that market and fellow Military who do RE investing there. 

The zoning changes will make California a hot real estate market.

Based in Santa Monica, focused on out-of-state markets with strong growth.Not here for sales pitches, just real connections, real deals, and real conversations.

What is your current BUY formula for properties in this market?

I have looked at other coastal markets that are less expensive than Charleston proper.
