I asked him what are the mortgage fraud hot spots in the US.. ( i had figured probably LA)  Nope ATL and Detroit 1 and 2.

i.e. deductible for a roof replacement or replacing an HVAC unit or replacing a hot water heater? 

Bali, for example, is seeing strong demand in areas like Kedungu, Tabanan, which is rapidly developing and located just 15 minutes from Canggu—making it a hot spot for investment.That said, it’s also wise to diversify your strategy.

Because September jobs growth was a lot stronger, and September inflation (CPI) was a bit hotter than expected.CPI came in a bit hot.

Figure out all the extra expenses of utilities, management, perhaps hot tub, internet etc. go low on income and high on expenses and see how the numbers look.

Tax sales can be rules-intensive, so research on the front end is ALWAYS a good idea to know what you're getting into.

(forced air, steam radiator, hot water baseboard, etc)?

To be successful right now in STR, you either need to go all out and beat everyone else on their table stakes (pickleball, basketball, game rooms, saunas, hot tubs, etc.) or you need to understand the market better than anyone and pick a niche for that market.Right now, you are one post in and just asking for someone to tell you anywhere in the United States to invest, which is silly.

Right now in Texas, we're seeing a lot of demand in both areas, but suburban spots around Houston and Dallas are especially hot due to affordability, space, and work-from-home flexibility.

I was debating this as well, but since this area is not a really hot market I wasn't sure if starting the price off low would work to create a bidding war or not.
