I sold all my SFR rentals in that markets as collecting rent and keeping houses in good shape was just too tough.. ( thats jackson proper)  as I said madison and Ridgeland will be fine..

Over the years the only place I have lost money is the stock market.

Generally I'm seeing anywhere from $25 - $40/Sf in TIA in different markets around the country. 

It's a free market. - You will finally get a tenant. 

What's your criteria for the market you're interested in? 

Hey All, I'll be traveling to Costa Rica for a wedding  and wanted to explore the market while I'm visiting.

I'm curious to dive deeper into the Santa Fe market and would love to learn from those with local experience.

Don’t forget. 2024 rent cap was 8.9% so you may never get “market rent”.

Goal would be to acquire 20 rentals by the age of retirement, with some already starting to be paid off.I am in the same boat as you, and I focus on safe appreciation all day (small cash flow for safety and then focused on markets on that appreciate).
