think about how long it will take to recoup all the costs i just mentioned.if you want day 1 cash flow... open a savings account.i say this not to discourage you but to help set expectations.Nicholas is spot on.

The one's I did go with do buy spot stuff at Home Depot, Lowe's, local stores and charge 125% of it.

Bali, for example, is seeing strong demand in areas like Kedungu, Tabanan, which is rapidly developing and located just 15 minutes from Canggu—making it a hot spot for investment.That said, it’s also wise to diversify your strategy.

So this makes North and Northwest Raleigh a fantastic spot and that's where we ended up.

I think I have a good but expensive system of finding the sweet spot of ADR / Occupancy, but I think that is the most difficult part nowadays. 

Love this post—spot-on advice for new investors and househackers.

I was told this was prime spot as well. . 

And its only got 2 bedrooms and 1300 sq ft whereas 3 bedrooms from 1300 to 1600 sq ft tends to be the sweet spot for families.I'd knock it down to 1650 to get down to where quite a few sfh's with 3 bedrooms are listed at out there and eat the 200/mo.   

Neighborhoods in OKC offer a range of opportunities from stable B areas to value-add C+ spots.

Right now in Texas, we're seeing a lot of demand in both areas, but suburban spots around Houston and Dallas are especially hot due to affordability, space, and work-from-home flexibility.
