-Homes that aren't falling apart/need major rehab on the property-Prices in six figures overall not seven figuresWhat 2-3 cities should I really pinpoint in terms of the Zillow map to get an idea of some great options?

Considering the option of tear down and build a new house, I was wandering if there's an average percentage difference in insuring a new home vs an older house?  

Have nearly the whole team baked out, right now just looking through different financing options. 

I have, but I have a say in the colour (ie they give me options to choose from) and it needs to be professionally done.

We are looking for STR options in Lakeland now and looking around that West Coast area as well.

@Sandra MartinInvesting in Real estate means looking into and learning from many sources.

But I'm open to other options.

Not sure if there are other long term finance options (30 years preferably).

Any other options?
