I'm a first-time investor looking to buy rental properties in Miami within the next couple of years.

OH, VA, and PA might be best for insurance.Places were I see growth:Nashville, Miami, Detroit (Royal Oak and Dearborn), Baltimore, Bridgeport, Raleigh, Buffalo, Montgomery, Charleston

The other thing we did that really added value was to install heated floors in the bathroom.

This can be an issue for homes in our market with the heat and humidity we have if they sit empty for long with no air conditioning as significant damage can occur to wood floors and other wood structures due to the humidity.4.

So I would have to route central AC and heating to the addition which is a large room. 

It's a pretty small lawn but with the weather heating up, I am going to need to get someone down in the area to be able to take care of it on a regular basis.  

Same thing is happening down in Miami as well.

All tenants at well, paying anywhere from $900-$1000 per unit for two bedroom apartments proximately 750 ft.² heat and hot water included.

I went to a rental on a no heat call today.

Beacon Hill but have been here all my life hanging out in the area.SBH is an area that has been slowly heating up, expect an SFH to sell for an averages of $300/sqft. in NBH, to $250-$200/sqft in SBH and Rainier Valley.
