The areas we stayed at in Santa Fe NM, Branson MO, Nashville TN, Gatlinburg TN, Charleston SC, Inlet Beach FLall were packed, restaurants were busy, traffic was heavy and beaches were filled with frolicking familes.Now, I can't speak for where we didn't go, crime infested Seattle WA, crime infested San Francisco CA, Memphis, St Louis, Chicago, New Orleans LA, Atlanta GA, you know, the usual hell holes.STRs good in nice places, STRs not good in crime infested places.

I currently have a property listed in South Plainfield NJ & im having a very hard time trying to get traffic in there.

Do you get much hunting traffic in the area on the grasslands?  

I even raised money around the holidays for specific projects with relative ease.I have noticed a massive reduction in traffic and interest to the opportunities presented at this time.

DMV appropriately named with all our traffic jams…lol.

Jacqueline,If you are able to bring properties to me before they hit the MLS, that will be great as I am looking for a realtor who I can use to sell my fix and flips and who knows how to generate traffic to the Open Houses.My plans are to have at least 1 fix and flip open house per month and then as I get bigger to have multiple Fix and flip homes available for resale every month.

Hello BP, for the area to growth there must be some future projects going on and current infrastructure that are hard to duplicate, but it is wise to purchase an apartment near to schools, malls, places of worship & etc because of the traffic, noise pollution and extreme density that may actually increase the tenant turnover as it is uncomfortable to live in such location?

Similar scenarios include me not buying on major traffic streets, homes that back up to railroads, etc as these are detraments to property values.

Being from Atlanta, I highly recommend East Cobb County and Cherokee County due to their great schools and low crime.Fulton and Dekalb don't have well known schools, they have high crime rates, loaded with horrendous traffic and much higher taxes than Cobb and Cherokee.Hope that helps!

My plan is to turn it into a commercial building and rent out as an office being that it is on a main street with tons of traffic.
