The property sold as soon as I put it in the market.2) As I was selling another property, my realtor noted damage to the roof (a blue tarp was covering it). 

People fleeing blue state to red states (New York to Florida for example).All these things drive the market.

There are many large PM businesses in PCB that offer full service - such as Vacasa, Blue Swell, etc - and many small ones that can do whatever services you want them to do.

I don't care if they are black, blue, yellow, or if they are 90 years old.SEO in itself is a filter.

You can still find cheap properties and the rents are strong relative to the cost.I like to be in a 3 bedroom about $35k acquisition and rehab which will rent for $675-750 ($675 Section 8) which gives me around 15% cash on cash return after taxes, insurance, vacancies, repairs, etc.Compare this to Martinez, Evans, or West Augusta where you will be lucky to find a 3 bedroom fixed up for less than $100k and the rents are going to be $800-1000.Of course this doesn't take into account leverage or appreciation and the South Augusta area is "less desirable," but I believe the sweet spot for single family rentals is the "blue collar" area with strong employment, good public transportation, and solid homes built after the 60's.Be mindful this model is purely based on cash-flow and I do not consider appreciation.

For example if you have children and the very best blue ribbon school is over there on that block and the district doesn't allow any transfers.

I like it because we have a solid blue-collar employment base that is specialized in manufacturing, we can buy properties at cap rates that allow for strong predictable cashflow, and then we can execute our business plan to pull some value-add levers and increase the net operating income.

Not a political statement but...red is a whole lot money-smart than investing in blue states.

What if you could get a better and more personal feel of the kinds of audience they're targeting and have a blue print on how to do this?
