@Rachan Malhotra I think you attached the Florida only list, lol...what is the relationship between fast growth a doing well as a housing provider...aka "real estate investor"Every city in America is facing an affordable housing crisis right now despite the market flooded with federal dollars and more programs than you can count...quite frankly, you can do well almost anywhere.

I would recommend getting the largest (most bedrooms) cabin you can afford.

It will be a struggle to find a small house I can afford on my own, even though I am a relatively high earner with a stable job.

But if I found a good 2-4 unit that I could afford in my desired area that is definitely a great idea!

According to YIMBY Law's interpretation of the law, the new buildings that replace the old ones have to be made affordable as defined by HUD, even if the current rents in the old building aren't.

Very time consuming unless you can afford to hire a bird dog or 2 to do it for you. 

You might be surprised to find that your rents could be raised enough to afford a property manager AND increase your cashflow at the same time. 

The affordable entry price and steady economy is also attractive.
