Plus there is a lot to do here so it is hard to be bored living in NJ.

Lived in The Woodlands for almost 19 years now and been investing up in this area for the last 9.

The best market is likely a "Good" cash flow market that you have some ties to, in some way shape or form, or one that is a reasonable drive from where you live, if practical/possible. 

well if I ever make it to the Smokies to see what the draw is  I will rent a condo then :)  I am just guess but I suspect folks that go there want to be in the woods and hear the birds and maybe some local mtn views etc.. or some sort of privacy they never get at home out east were there is not very much public lands close to where they live in the big city. ????

Quote from @Tenzapa Wakombe: @jaycee Greene I am in Kentucky now, I used to live in MemphisI am so sorry, I got the terminology wrong silly me!

Best of luck, and if I lived nearby I think I’d be bullish on, and potentially investing in the area as well! 

There are also Zoom calls where people practice their underwriting live.

Now, three years later, my tenant reported cracks in every room—paint cracking and full-line cracks in the bathroom, living room, and bedroom (walls, ceiling).A drywall contractor looked at it and said it’s normal wear and tear, but I’m concerned since it’s in every room.

I used to live in the lower mainland but invested where the numbers work like Vancouver Island or Northern BC.

With my in-laws living in Augusta,  I visit the area a few times a year, and it definitely seems like there’s some potential in the market.
