Las Vegas could be a good place to start since your girlfriend already has connections there, though the other states you mentioned—especially Tennessee—could be worth considering as well.Cities like Chattanooga sport particularly affordable properties—tenant-ready single-family homes in the 37406 and 37411 zip codes, for instance, retail for between $150,000 and $200,000 and can achieve monthly rents that approach or exceed the 1% rule.On the whole, Chattanooga’s homes are about 22% cheaper than properties in Las Vegas and 60% more affordable than those in New York City, so it may be worth exploring further.
