I'm of course bias, but I chose Reno because of it's proximity to CA, no state income tax, stable job growth, population growth, land constraints (constricted supply), proximity to Lake Tahoe, etc. 

He's willing to lower the price to 5.5m, but that's still too high for my blood.There's no fly fishing where I live but there's a fairly large lake for bass or catfish fishing.

@Ken Naim My properties are in Lake County.

But by MN lake cabin was probably lower and it was never even thought of as a concern.   

I just built a new three-bedroom two, two-bath Module home on a lake in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, in October 2023.

If I buy house for investment i run the numbers and everything look good but and its a big but... the house on flood zone from 1-10 he at 9 now let me make it clear its not a lake or something close to it city close to downtown chiago not lake around it very metropolitan area.. but flood zone 9 so i know its can be a big factor when i want to riff after i finish my renove there and want to take my money back 75% i know also the insurance van be factor with the price i can pay every month.. so if some have idea or experience with this subject the house located  oak park Illinois.. 

Areas such as Liberty, Ferndale, Swan Lake, Woodridge, Monticello, and Woodbourne are quickly becoming popular among buyers.

It's been gutted to the studs inside, has a new roof, and has a pool (needs work plus a possible expansion), with room for new commercial buildings to replace the ones that were demolished or for an expansion of the motel with either more rooms or a few condos for short-term rental.I'm considering selling a single-family home that I own outright in another state (Lake Havasu City, AZ) to finance this deal. 

Does anyone invest in Lake County in Ohio? 

I grew up in Lake Wawasee/Syracuse, but there are tons of lakes up there that make for great short term rentals.
