I've spent the last 3 years nagging the city to sell me a lot next to my property so I can install a driveway and they've finally agreed.

@Sean Doyle - Toledo is the only city I operate in.

I have noticed a lot of investors are seeking out cities that are offering lower priced lots and simply adding a Modular or Manufactured and capturing a very nice cash flow.There is a new trend starting in Florida and in other states where an investor buys a piece of land or lot and add a 'Tiny Home". 

Eliminate the nonsense of misconstruing amortization tables, misunderstanding compound interest, and misunderstanding lines of credit (HELOCs) and the above three points should enable you to see the tree in the forest.

One is in National City, another in Grant Hill and last one in Fairmount Village.

Every Week I scan the MLS, navigating cities and towns in South Florida that are friendly (and not friendly) toward short term rentals.

I would check some of the sub markets 15-40 minutes from Raleigh city center that still benefits from the Raleigh economy.- Everyone's situation and goals are different but I would assume there are a few quality markets within an hour of where you are located in Florida that would check a lot of your boxes. 

Top Housing Markets for 2025: Cities Where Home Sales Are Set To SoarI operate and invest in Pueblo West and Canon City currently, and it has for sure been a softer market for sales.

Basically, the further you get away from the city the more potential for cashflow, but you're also dealing with a different tenant base that may be tougher to manage.

Pete, try looking at cities within an hour of those areas.Lately, I’ve actually been seeing more properties hit the 1% rule, which hasn’t happened in a while.
