Hey Jonathan - I usually start by checking what similar properties are charging in the area, considering things like size, amenities, and location.

@Hiyun Park only experienced investors can DIY everything in Class C Midwest areas like Detroit, Cleveland, St Louis, etc.Hopefully the info below will help you:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Since my current strategy is BRRRR, I'm looking for a location where I can implement it successfully within my budget.I’d prefer to target the best neighborhoods or subdivisions I can afford, ideally with favorable eviction laws and other key factors.That said, I started wondering if there might be a better strategy to achieve my goals.

I don't know enough about your rentals to determine quality, location, or layout, but I suspect my numbers are pretty close.However, your utilities are pretty expensive in the winter.

It’s a growing city and in a great location close to Orlando, Gainesville and Jacksonville.here’s the link to the RealWealth article that was mentioned above by Chrishttps://realwealth.com/learn/best-places-to-buy-rental-property/amp/#

Most real estate agents actually do not have the need to go into an office to close transactions and meet clients at either a natural location or at the properties they are showing or listing. 

Focus on buying properties in good locations that will attract high value tenants.

Again, it would be hard to get any precise direction here but there's enough to think about which way to go with it.
