For appreciation, the Columbus market is a strong choice.

I have some solid ones in my current market, but I'm moving into a new market soon.

We are in a great buy and hold market.

Rent-by-the-room is a great strategy in this market.

I come home look to see if it's on market then send letter to PR (personal rep) Exuctor/trix.

Understand the West Texas market dynamics, such as transient workforces in towns like Midland, Odessa, or Lubbock, and research growth potential.

Depending on the size of your portfolio, I suggest considering either "PROPERTYWARE" or "INNAGO":Propertyware is ideal for larger portfolios, offering customizable and automated reporting features.Innago has been very effective for me, enabling property marketing, conducting screenings, and managing rent and maintenance requests.

If you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking5.

Wholesaling is very uncommon in my market, and all the other local title companies and attorneys I called seemed to not know much at all about assignments and/or double closings.

If you are stugling at that level my advice is go out and leran the market.
