The appeal, in my experinence, is a steady local base plus some vacationers passing through.I’ve got a freind who scooped up a place near the Ozarks and found that while huge cash flow was harder to come by, the consistent occupancy gave them fewer headaches over time.

For instance, a friend of mine transitioned into the BTR market in Austin, Texas, after noticing consistent rental growth.

California prices are really unaffordable at the same time the state has consistently had outmigration of native residents for something like a decade and even negative population growth recently whereas Texas has grown substantially. 

My rentals are all over the place and on a yearly basis I make multiple and consistent visits to these places. 

I have had previous requests for help with this situation, and that's the advice I consistently offer.

Multifamily projects often yield higher per-square-foot returns due to economies of scale and consistent demand for rental units in urban areas.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

It looks like they have been in contact with you previously and have communicated the inspection date.

Small items breaking are already set into my expenses and relfect in my pricing as it will happen consistently.

Once you have consistent, high levels of cash flow then consider the “company vehicle”.
