I looked at New London and think it's a fantastic town, probably going to see increases in value IMHO: its got great "bones" as a city, is starting to "urbanify" (trendy places starting to open) but it's way behind the curve, and it seems to me the hipsters there are still young and haven't started having kids/figuring out how to make the city work with kids--so prices are dirt cheap.

Typical motivated seller phrase: "I'm out of state, I just wanted to get rid of the house", etc.What caught my attention is that he says he's been living out of state for nearly the length of an entire high school career.

I think Bergen and Hudson are trendy and growing neighborhoods but that goes along with height price per unit and pretty low cash on cash return. 

In my lending life and still as an investor and realtor, seems like everyday I use the phrase "money comes with rules attached" for absolutely every type of housing and also every type of buyer. 

Lake Street (old money), Laurel Heights (near USF campus), Forest Hill and extension with great views, West Portal (muni station, some big lots), St Francis Woods (old money, huge lots), Merced Manor near Lake Merced, and Inner Sunset (demand from UCSF will always be there), Golden Gate Heights (great views), Noe Valley (trendy).

In the Denver area the trend is for the larger municipalities ie Denver and Aurora to limit STR to primary residences or stays or 30 days or longer.

But the trend is so many big businesses are choosing not to have retail restate estate.

If you have fair credit, verifiable rental history and consistent income you can easily secure FHA financing in Houston and the inner city is the ideal place to house hack because of it's proximity to all the cool and trendy places downtown along with the major universities and Med Center.

(this is a function of $10 cpms x .25-1% CTRsAdwords is pretty targeted and has intent as you can target by zip code and high intent keywords such as "sell my house for cash etc." but it's limited to people searching for those high intent phrases which may not be a large number.
