Hey Rajesh:I looked all over the west coast and couldn't find much in terms of markets/job growth/other infrastructure dev that showed appreciation and cash flow (both) would be very good.

If you are a legal property manager in your state the owner should have the unfettered ability to allow you to act as his/her agent to enforce the lease, whatever provisions they may contain plus whatever your state laws allow.

Tampa has a lot of value-add opportunities in gentrifying areas where you can snag deals that balance growth and stability.

I would definitely focus on market growth oppose to finding a cheap property.

The ability to get funding in just a few days can make a world of difference, allowing investors to act quickly and lock in the best opportunities.I’m curious, in your experience, what strategies have you found most effective for building strong relationships with reliable direct lenders?

I also do not take any money from my rentals as I’m in the growth phase with a W2 and low personal expenses. 

There are a lot of markets with solid job markets, strong populations, solid rent growth, but when you are talking ONE property, unless you are considering highly rural areas, it likely doesn't matter.  

With growth comes new challenges and new experiences.

With the need for more homes overall, and it also gives the renter the ability to have a new home.Best of luck to you on the next deal.

I’m a broker based in Charlotte, NC, and I work with Compass to support investors in maximizing their growth strategies.
