Upon searching the popular areas my graduate friends suggested (Uptown, The Village, Greenville), I have determined there is no way I can justify renting a property in that range.Funny enough, I am currently living out of a 2 bedroom condo north of Dallas (short term air bnb) for my internship with one of my college friends (we split rent).

It is located in some of the newest developments on the north side of Katy, TX 77493 (I am not sure if I can post a link to the Zillow page or provide the address because I don't own it yet).

The growth trends are in Utah County and not North.3.

I live approx 60 miles north of Atlanta.

Happy to give you a quick background about the market.The median home price in the MSA is about $350,000, but you can find plenty of rent-ready properties in suburbs north of the Tennessee River for under $250,000 or under.

@Lillian Pintaro,Birmingham’s a lucrative market—it’s been my stomping ground for nearly 20 years, and you can find some excellent deals if you know what you’re after and dive deep by zip code, neighborhood, and city block.For what it’s worth, we manage 2,000+ units (many for out-of-state investors) mostly in the north and west part of town—so think suburbs outside the city limits like Graysville (35073), Adamsville (35005), Mount Olive (35117), Center Point (35215), and the like.Since you’re also open to the surrounding areas, places like Odenville (to the east) and Tuscaloosa (to the southwest) could be worth checking out.

I spend majority of my time in central and North Jersey.  

Hey Kenneth - I've never used Zenbusiness but I do in North Dakota we go directly to the state website and open up a "Foreign LLC" whenever we're buying and doing business in other states with properties. 

I have a property that I purchased in Madison NC (about 25mins north of Greensboro). 

North Kansas City also does their MAREI meetings once a month in person, not sure if it's worth the hour drive from St.
