I also talked about a key indicator of the Indy market being the rise in home prices as well as the year-over-year forecasted appreciation and the impact of the solid business environment across the city. 

This is just my opinion...Done right, you can be successful in Chicago (or Chicagoland,) even with high property taxes and the current regulatory environment.

Some HOAs don’t allow daily rental because they perceive this business model creates “transit” environment for its residents.

Do you really think there's a good argument for diving in and learning on the fly- especially in this ultra-competitive, yield starved, low-rate environment we are currently in? 

Starting with a very basic question to evaluate my environment and, also my peers willing to share.

You may find some hard money willing to loan on the deal if you do some fishing.

Hence gun makers, tobacco companies, polluting energy companies all make legal profits at the expense of society, the environment and the general public.

1980 being a giveaway to that.If I buy a home at a lower price in a high rate environment, when rates drop I can refinance that monkey off my back and maybe look forward to potential boost in home value from the looser money. 

Ultimately this will simplify your life and make investing a more hands-off ordeal than fishing for a real estate agent to bring a tenant each time you have a vacancy.However, if you are PM averse, Zillow Rental Manager is your best single-stop for procuring a ready, willing, and able tenant in my experience.

if you want outstanding weather, diverse environments within a 1.5 hour drive, beautiful ocean, beautiful mountains, beautiful desert and are willing to have low income to housing costs for these items (the sunshine tax) then San Diego could be for you.
