They tend to be what most people target.

Quote from @Angelous Ultionem: That's what I had researched myself but recently I've seen people talk about getting another 100 miles from the first property.

This comes from several data points, the first being the average age at which people are choosing to stop renting and buy their first home.

This is something a lot of people need to read going into flipping..

Over the past year, we’ve seen values go up anywhere from 3-6%, and with more people moving in, that trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

Anyways, I'm seeing a lot of general speculation on here but people don't invest in these markets because they believe they're the greatest places to live in the world, they're interested in the cash flow and possible appreciation.None of my clients were talking about appreciation in the Cleveland market in 2019 and now their properties are worth 30-40% more, and that's on top of record high rent prices in this market. 

Do people typically just take out a bigger loan to finance it or are these special loans for rehabs with lower interest rates? 

I tell people all the time: if you can't find a quality PM in a market, don't invest in that market!

Raise fees on building permits, give tax credits on renovations.Suburban sprawl really hasn't been a good thing for the US.Of course, it's all about supply & demand.But, if you can figure out why more people want to live in Hazel Park (leading to teardowns & rebuilds) versus south Warren or Eastpointe (nothing happening) then you can make millions.
