I plan to manage the properties myself until it conflicts with my regular job.I would appreciate any advice on these markets to ensure success and connect with local investors.    

I would always lean towards markets that are landlord-friendly. 

Hi @Konstantinos Lembesis When Settling on a market develop some metrics that you can not only measure the market you are interested in but others that you havn't considered yet. 

I hear there's a recent case in Federal Court where an investor was found NOT GUILTY of violating anti spam laws because his text was asking to BUY a property, which isn't sales (which is what marketing is). 

Valdosta GA Market Update: Jan 2025Happy New Year!!

I furnish about 80% of my properties off of facebook market place and places like that. 

Mine have appreciated off of the charts in the Charlotte metro market.

In this I hope that I can link with someone that can provide more insight into the local market.

Also, confirm market rents support your investment.

Also, we're not getting anywhere near market rent for the home since its only half the home being rented, however we do feel that we're getting what similar efficiencies are getting in the neighborhood.
