From my experience, cities like Greenville, Columbia, Augusta, Huntsville, Chattanooga, and Jacksonville offer strong house-hacking opportunities with growing job markets, solid rental demand, and affordable multi-family options.

There are still sub-$300k markets out there.

@Sean Spagnola - I always like to have photos of recent comps in my back pocket to help with the design of a BRRRR to ensure that the finishes are similar/same to the market. 

We bought the property at below market rate because the seller was motivated and needed to close quickly.

Purchasing a fully furnished 3-bedroom home minutes from a large hospital and a SUNY University.Whom (at the hospital) would I contact to determine if there is a market for mid term rentals.

This is why a lot of syndications also fail - they raised a lot of money because the promoter was a great marketer but awful manager.2.

Valdosta GA Market Update: Jan 2025Happy New Year!!

What kind of market are you looking for? 

You'll have better luck analyzing a few properties a month from investors, wholesalers and realtors that can find you off market deals.

I'm curious what more experienced investors will leave to finish repairing after they list the property, but before they start to show it (or lease it).I start the marketing about two weeks prior to completion, with an advertised availability date of one week after completion.
