@Ryan StoverThe only way I see to take advantage of both environments (TX tax freedom and CA beach and weather) is to move to Texas and frequently travel to CA to vacation / business trip, but make sure to make Texas your home in all ways.

The city's strong rental demand contributes to a favorable rent-to-purchase price ratio.Cincinnati, Ohio: Known for its stable economy and diverse industries, Cincinnati provides a robust environment for long-term rental investments.

Exception would be if I was virtually assured I would be selling before the rate reset. 2.6 fixed 30 is a hell of a rate no matter what interest rate environment we're in. 

In the current environment, I'm spending money improving the properties so when the market turns I will have less unexpected repairs and maintenance, and can focus on acquiring more rentals. 

We're in an environment where interest rates are creeping up, so I expect that deal flow will be even more constrained in the coming year.

As a Vancouver resident I'm biased in my opinion, but the living environment and lifestyle doesn't get much better than in southwest coastal B.C!
