Others who are active within the program may have other intel to share.

I personally dont do any of that.. every market / or most will have an active fix and flip sector or buy and hold sector the important thing to me is the operator full stop.. great operator will do well in any market and all the national data simply is noise at least at my level. ( loaning our own money and JV deals with our own money)  we dont broker or anything like that.

Instead of trying to actively manage investments in singles and doubles have you considered investing passively in syndications?

I have property here in San Antonio as an active duty member as well and there are over 10k properties listed for rent in the city.

Quote from @Sanjay Bhagat: 1) Is there a syndicate/s in BP which has gone through all the 4 real estate life cycle (recovery, expansion, hyper-supply, and recession) ?

What ROI do you need to justify the liability and active nature of owning a rental property?

Exploring AZ, TX, OH, and FL makes a lot of sense—those markets are active, and Florida, in particular, could offer unique opportunities with properties affected by recent hurricanes.

Not sure about maple heights/cleveland, but just down the road here in Akron, the Akron housing authority maintains a list of properties and landlords who are actively interested in providing section 8 housing.

However, we are seeing far more activity in Nova Scotia for both investors and clients.

In fact, many, though not all, of these “experts” are washed up and no longer active in the market.
