We have central air and sometimes the AC doesn't cool enough in extreme hot weather situations.

I have been using REI Hub since January and really like it.  

Modesto or Stockton, Fresno, Sacramento, Central Valley?

This is in the middle of Central Maine in a high demand location.

But until someone provides evidence (via their primary research like I did) that central NC, with 1M in population is completely different from everywhere else as far as SDIRA investment behavior, I will assume the above is consistent with the rest of the country.

Make an account on lien hub and/or real auction and see what you can find. 

Being more affordable than the southeast, allows us to get in with a better basis and potential for growth as more people seek out affordable places to live with strong lifestyle amenities, and convenient travel available: major industries, all major sports, Delta Hub airport."

Gravity is nice since it is central.

I understand the capital region, the Adirondack region, and Western New York (Rochester and Buffalo) have their strengths and weaknesses, but I'm going to focus on this central part of the state.Binghamton is my favorite investment market for a few reasons, but it's not for everyone.STRENGTHS-  low prices-  blue collar overall, meaning lots of resources for contractors-  growing university, consistently growing rents-  I expect to see an actual 10% cap rate here, higher if the property needs work-  compared to downstate, permitting, evictions, etc. are simple and quick-  no code compliance inspections required on existing multifamiliesWEAKNESSES-  no. natural. appreciation.
