I love transforming kitchens into modern functioning ones.

Account Closed is saying is that the fight against rent control in a liberal city with high percentage rent increases and population growth is a loosing battle, especially in the modern world of interconnection through social media.

I would be considering markets with job growth and modern/diverse economies.

"These properties also rent more quickly, as they usually have modern layouts and an adequate count of bedrooms and bathrooms."

After that, look for metropolitan areas within those states that have growing populations, growing jobs, good incomes, have a high labor participation rate, with modern/diverse economies and industries.

Markets with growing populaltions, growing jobs, modern/diverse economies give the best opportunity for appreciation and increased cash flow through rent increases.

I would say it mostly depends on how you are looking to invest and what level of involvement you are comfortable with.For example, I am helping some family members build a small modern cabin in the Smokies, and in 6 months' time, they will be able to sell it and almost double their investment.

Being 23 year's old and having a one in a million shot of funding froma VC or any kind of project backer, I've beat the system by using upcycled material that portrays a beautiful tiny modern day home that is strictly off grid with solar, thermal, hydro power as well as wind power!

Both are medium grade (modern, contemporary style architecture) construction with a subterranean work required for garages.

About $140 a ft in hard construction costs - the balance is everything else.Both of these projects are 3 and 4 story, modern, nice finishes with sales prices in the high $400's.I just funded a single family house for a client last week - SFR about 5,000 finished sq ft - $140 a ft - completed value over a million.
