A friend of mine picked up a duplex there last year for under $150K, added some sweat equity, and turned it into a cash cow.Chattanooga, TN: This market has been quietly making waves.

If you don't mind a little more management, renting by the room and midterm can bring in a lot more revenue than renting just the basement or other unit if you get a duplex. 

I guess to update my situation, my condo in Palm Springs is still being occupied by someone I met though Aribnb back in March.

I have two duplex units and am subdividing into townhomes for higher market value.

And in that one, my friend did it to himself, he took a $5k down payment on a flipping duplex.

Information including but not limited to: - Median Sale prices for different property types (SFR, MFR, Condo/HOA, etc.)- Average days on market- Absorption rate- Historical data on rents and sale prices in the area- Population growth- Main economic drivers (industries, individual companies, etc.)- Crime stats... if you know specific zip codes/submarkets that you'd like to target, the best data will come from local precincts. - and more..I'd recommend remaining active not only here on BiggerPockets, but in other valuable RE investment networks that you can find - i.e. local meetups (meetup.com, eventbrite, BP local events). 

I started last year and now I have acquired tow duplexes with two apartment buildings under contract.
