Orlando just opened Brightline high speed railway (Miami-Orlando with 2 stops i believe).

What doesn't work as well is the beginner who buys for appreciation in a high market.  

This is typically due to a high principal and low median rent within the area or its remote and I believe it may be a struggle to find tenants.

And I'd highly recommend doing a once-per-year walkthrough of the property yourself, so you know the manager is working in your best interest. 

I am worried about getting in with the prices being so high in the entire Portland area, but I’m more worried about not getting in and getting my real estate portfolio going.Best Regards,Justin

I highly recommend finding some events to go to on meetups.com/Facebook/your local REIA website.

@Karan Shah Plano is definitely in high demand.

The issue, of course, is that renting close to a college/university is highly seasonal in that students want housing mostly for the beginning of the fall semester. 

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

I’ve been spending time there since I was a child and it feels like a great place, (except for the high crime and drug use, areas which I would never invest in…).
