Those areas have a large volume of small multi fam properties which is key to scaling.

However, I feel a bit overwhelmed with the sheer volume of information out there, and I'm not sure where to start.I'm particularly interested in long-term investments and potentially exploring rental properties in the future, but I'm open to any profitable venture in the real estate market.So, seasoned investors, what say you?

I’ve now been a part of the Featured Agent Program as an agent in both Nashville, TN and just outside of Los Angeles, CA, and can attribute over $15 million in sales volume from the leads in just over 18 months.

Overall, with sales volume remaining stable and pending sales up 9% from a year ago, the greater Austin metro market still has healthy buyer demand for housing, despite mortgage rates recently reaching 20+ year highs.Here are the full stats for Austin and the greater metro:Note that mortgage interest rates have pulled back somewhat sharply from their 8%+ peak in October.

I believe it heavily depends on the volume of property you have/rent and if you plan on expanding.

@Scott Weston I hate volume of competition, it breeds a "race to the bottom".

They will provide timeless information  They have a team: You want an agent who is so busy with volume that they have to take on more assistants to keep up.

You can't hide growing, a plant or a couple but growing any volume not easy to hide.   

I'm looking to add more volume to my business .

Really, your best bet will probably be TLO if your volume is low.
