;I think you'll find this in any big metro in Florida.

Denver is an attractive metro for a few reasons, so I downloaded monthly price and rent growth at the zip code level from Zillow’s public housing data.I then used a ranking algorithm to sort the top 10 zip codes for investing based on monthly average price growth and monthly average rent growth (both by percent growth), from 2019-2024.

I favor metro areas having to have at least some sort of permit to operate. 

However, these areas tend to sacrifice appreciation potential.Parts of the Kansas City metro are currently experiencing significant investment from major corporations.

I invest in my local markets  (Philly metro area, Lehigh Val - Bethlehem and Easton) as well as other states.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

More Background:My current goal is to be a 'small but mighty' landlord/investor (check out Coach Chad Carson if you want to learn more) in the Minnesota metro/suburb area.

Mean unit prices in the metro are as follows: studios $1,687, one bedrooms $2,168, two bedrooms $2,730, and three bedrooms $3,384.

I like paid off SFH in a large metro area works for me.

Keep in mind there are many on BP who will completely disagree with many of the above. well written by a hands on landlord... also I know Rural PA kind of well.. its a far cry buying low cost homes in those little rural burgs than what landlords have to put up with in C and D in major metro areas..
