I'd consider the older areas west of Lake Houston (Huffman) as investor friendly for rentals and flips with all the new construction happening in the area. 

Salt Lake City, UT MSA16.

She has a 4/2 that is in one of the best zip codes of Jackson, MS and is/was lake front, but that still means it may never appreciate.

Hey @Michael Stokes We have a couple of pairs of pileated woodpecker's around our lake house.

Hello Everybody,My name is Phil Doetsch, I live in Lake Bluff, IL about 30 miles north of Chicago.

I think it is that one has a mortgage and one does not that is making it hard for me to compare.Property #1 is a seasonal nightly rental (condo) at a lake and has a $600 mortgage each month (included in the numbers). 2019 was my first full year with it.Income = $13kExpense = $16kSo a total profit of -$3,795 : (Property #2 is a traditional tenant rental I have had for 16 years with no mortgage, I stopped renting it in month #8 of the year because I put it up for sale (was kind of tired of maintenance problems, plus it is a condo that has never really appreciated in 16 years!!). 

I am 2 hours from Salt Lake - and live in a town of 12,000.

It's in a lake community with some amenities.
