Am i missing a market? 

Particularly situated between growing markets in Montgomery and Birmingham, as I'm sure you've seen.

Hello, just wondering if anybody would be willing to share their preferred websites to analyze markets for things such as yearly appreciation rates, rent appreciation, days on market, etc.

The right way to market a MTR requires more than just Airbnb bookings.

Factor in how much principle they would have paid off the loan and subtract that from the current market value of the home. 

Hi Ambrea,To get into fix and flips, I started by focusing on a few key steps that helped me find success:Educate Yourself: Learn the market, analyze property values, and understand rehab costs.Build a Network: Connect with real estate agents, contractors, and lenders.Secure Financing: Consider hard money or private loans for quick capital.Find the Right Property: Look for undervalued homes in growing areas.Create a Detailed Plan: Budget carefully and have a clear timeline for renovations.What worked best for me was staying disciplined with my numbers and always having a solid team in place.

In some markets rental amounts are lagging behind values right now.  

It’s a challenging market in NJ.

Anything can happen: the market can shift, we can go into another extended lockout period, the property can be destroyed by a natural disaster or by vandalism, the list of contingencies is endless.
