A very similar demographic and spread of housing.

Given the demographics of the neighborhood we felt like we could only get so much of a return.

You are right though that what is not common is converting the house into rental for a period to take advantage of both sections because even high demographic folks with good attorneys and planning professionals don't always know this strategy.  

you can do basic research on population growth demographics  income levels  school scores.. etc.. but as it relates to most rentals that are 100k or so or under ( which is a majority of the turn key as they have to be priced like that to get the returns the market is looking for).. the city is secondary its all about PM after you own it.. and your tenant quality.I like to mention when looking at a market and if your looking for long term rentals.. you do not get fixated on short term returns like most on this site do.. 

If you’re not managing yourself, it takes a certain type of person to want to collect and deal with the demographic that pays $500 monthly to stay off the streets.

If you're willing to go outside of the ATL metro (30+ miles outside of downtown), you can find markets with good demographics that still cash flow.

Hi @Robin Morales It depends on what demographic you are looking to rent to.

Cities with a diverse and growing economy can be ideal for real estate investing, as they offer more stability and potential for growth.Look at population growth and demographic trends: Investigate the population growth and demographic trends in the area, as these can also impact the demand for rental properties.

Instead, focus on finding properties that have the potential to generate consistent cash flow and appreciate in value over time.One approach to consider is to look for properties in areas with strong economic and demographic fundamentals, such as job growth, population growth, and low crime rates.

These demographic and economic tailwinds could mean that Huntsville real estate is primed for long-term appreciation.At the same time, homes in the city are still cheap relative to monthly rents—a boon for investors like yourself who are looking for cash flow as well.
